“The House That Bradley Built,” a charity compilation featuring acoustic covers from Sublime’s catalog, arrives Friday. Benefits from the album will go to the Nowell Family Foundation and their rehab facility, Bradley’s House, named after the band’s frontman, Bradley James Nowell, who died in 1996 of a heroin overdose.

“It was a devastating loss for his family, friends and fans,” says Jim Nowell, Bradley’s father. “From this pain came a burning desire to help others who battle with opioid addiction to overcome the disease before it takes their lives. That’s why we started the Nowell Family Foundation.”

The 24-track album includes the likes of G. Love, Pepper, Long Beach Dub Allstars, Jim Lindberg of Pennywise, Common Kings and the Skints. Also included is Descendents’ ukulele rendition of their song “Hope,” a song Sublime covered on their 1992 debut “40 Oz. to Freedom,” along with reggae legend Half Pint doing his “Lovin’,” which was the original sample for “What I Got.”

Nowell’s father and his son Jake duet on “Rivers of Babylon.”

The album is available via LAW Records.
