Punch Brothers recently stopped by the offices of The Onion's A.V. Club for the latest installment of A.V. Undercover, in which bands choose from a list of songs and put their own spin on a classic. Punch Brothers chose The Cars hit "Just What I Needed." "Punch Brothers were kind of a natural choice for A.V. Undercover, since the modern bluegrass-influenced band has made cover songs a part of its repertoire for years," says the site. "We think you'll find it delightful, and perhaps it will lead you to the Punch Brothers' equally delightful new album, Who's Feeling Young Now?" What do you think? Check out their performance here:
