Moonraker Drops Cover Of The Smoking Popes Punk Classic

Southern California punks Moonraker have dropped a surprise Halloween single: a fiery, harmony-laced cover of The Smoking Popes’ classic, “Rubella.” The digital-only track injects Moonraker’s trademark blend of grit and heart into the 1995 favorite, reimagining its bittersweet melody with punchy guitars and soaring dual vocals. Drummer/vocalist David Green noted the cover was originally intended for a tribute compilation that never materialized, making it a perfect surprise pop-punk treat for Halloween.
