Rubblebucket Cover Fugazi’s “Waiting Room”

RB - Fugazi cover art

Rubblebucket has had a massive year. After an incredible 2014 tour and features on NPR and The New York Times, the band took a break and came back with this. Their cover of Fugazi’s “Waiting Room” off of 1989’s 13 Songs respects the original but adds that distinctive Rubblebucket sound (the brass!). Check out what Alex Toth had to say about the cover.

There was a vibrant hardcore scene where i grew up in NJ in the late 90’s. Many of my friends were in bands (while I was off doing jazz), setting up DIY shows and shooting homemade movies. Fugazi was king. Last year Kal and I spent a lot of time in waiting rooms. I was listening to “13 Songs” recently while decompressing from our end of year tour, and this one just crushed me.

You’re welcome to bump this all day:
