Though they've been playing reggae-rock together in some form since 1996, The Dirty Heads only recently made a commercial dent, with last year's summertime hit "Lay Me Down." That song's Sublime-esque feel was no coincidence: Its guest vocals came from Sublime's replacement singer and Bradley Nowell sound-alike Rome Ramirez, whose merry chorus played off the band's island-themed grooves and Dustin "Duddy" Bushnell's rasta-raps.
