California’s Moonraker have released their first new(ish) music of 2025 with a cover of the Smoking Popes song “Rubella.” That track originally appeared on the Popes’ sophomore LP Born to Quit, released in 1994.
This is the first music from Moonraker since their 2023 split with Neckscars.
Hit up the cover below, and swing by their Spotify or Bandcamp for more, although note that, as of this post, the song is not up on the latter.
