The Rub (US band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I can find no evidence this band has charted or has any significant in depth coverage. Fails WP:GNG and just about everything else I can think of. The only references I can find through searching basically just link back to/regurgitate various iterations of this article. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  16:02, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

THE RUB meets multiple Wikipedia notability criteria for Bands:
 * Delete. No credible evidence of a WP:NMUSIC pass, and no reliable source coverage about them in media shown to get them over WP:GNG. Bearcat (talk) 16:27, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can't find significant coverage to meet WP:GNG or WP:BAND.  gongshow  talk  15:24, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

THE RUB clearly meets this criteria:

Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable).

Happy Squid Records, Los Angeles. www.HappySquidRecords.com  one of the most important independent record companies in Los Angeles punk/post punk/underground. THE RUB released 2 full length albums, and is releasing new material on this label in the next 2 weeks.

Please see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinals_(band)

Also,

Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.[note 1].

This is one example.

"Death Of Pop" by THE RUB has been the opening theme song of this long-running weekly show on WPRB, Princeton University:
