Their new album After the Quake, and touring plans with Sublime!

I recently did an artist-on-artist interview, over the phone, with a band named Del Mar. They’re a mix of surf and punk, promoting their recent album release After The Quake. Rather than review the album, I decided to get up close and personal seeing as our bands have become friends over the past year.

Michael "Miguel" Happoldt for most may be regarded as the “unofficial” fourth member of Sublime, but those that know the band’s history extensively, appreciate he was even more than that. Through his producing, guitar playing, song-writing and friendship, Miguel the Skunk Records founder, was also at the forefront and a huge part of Sublime’s musical vision.
