I'll also go back to what I said about their image and marketing, it's all very similar to Sublime, if not identical.

It's also the reason why every time Slightly Stoopid is mentioned, Sublime inevitably ends up part of the conversation as well. Can you say you've ever talked about Slightly Stoopid without their similarity to Sublime becoming the main subject of the conversation? What are we doing right now? Haha.

It's like the same exact formula. I guess they can't be IDENTICAL, though, but still come on. Really, come on.
The music and yes even the look of Stoopid encompasses Sublime, but the vocals don't really sound like Bradley. Stoopid has two main vocalists with wildly different sounding voices. One of them sings really high pitched one the other has a more laid back flow.

I love Sublime, they are easily one of my biggest inspirations musically. Yeah I won't doubt that they are similar in many ways, there's no doubt that Slightly Stoopid wouldn't exist without them. I just think they also a lot of songs with their own style and sounds that Sublime didn't have.

Ive been listening to Sublime for a while too mang, and I get your point but I just respectfully disagree that they're identical.
