(V/A) Before Braille - Under the Covers

>>COMPILATION IN ITS LATEST FORM<<

We will do our best to keep the list of artists updated on this page. Scroll to see the current list of artists taking part.

Interest in the compilation has grown, so more than just "Rumor" songs are being recorded to support The Rumor reissue. The Rumor (2022) will drop on its 20th anniversary, 10 Sept 2022. 

Update: The remix sessions with Jamie Woolford are complete and The ‘new and improved’ Rumor has been mastered by Dan Coutant @ Sun Room. 

Brandon Smith has jumped in to assist The Rumor album cover. 

To allow for more bands to finish their covers, the compilation is still expected to accompany The Rumor (2022), but a final accounting of songs will not be available until the day of its release. Thank you to all the artist and friends who have joined us on this journey. It’s been really fun. 


UPDATE: The comp is available HERE 

You'll find it everywhere in October. Be patient. DPJ got covid in Malaysia and things got pushed back.
