Sadly, Bert Susanka, frontman of Orange County band The Ziggens has passed away. He was 62 and had been battling ALS. Susanka was also a co-founder of Skunk records, the label that served as Sublime's launching pad. Of course, Susanka was a big influence on Sublime, with Sublime often covering or referencing Susanaka and Ziggens. Ziggens played with Sublime, No Doubt, Slightly Stoopid, Supernova, Mike Watt, The Vandals, Guttermouth, Voodoo Glowskulls, The Cadillac Tramps, and many, many more. Before his passing, unable to use his voice, Bert recorded an instrumental album which will feature vocals from his friends and peers alike. The Ziggens released their final album, Oregon in September 2021. You can see the family's statement below.
