Punch Brothers, who return to the road next month starting at the Bonnaroo and Telluride Bluegrass festivals, have kicked off the sixth season of the A.V. Club's A.V. Undercover series. "First up, it’s the thoroughly awesome Punch Brothers, who covered The Cars for us way back in 2012," says the A.V. Club. "[Y]ou can never hear a banjo- and mandolin-assisted cover of The Strokes' 'Reptilia' too many times." Watch them perform it as many times as you'd like in the video here.
Punch Brothers, who return to the road next month starting at the Bonnaroo and Telluride Bluegrass festivals, have kicked off the sixth season of the A.V. Club's ever enjoyable A.V. Undercover. In the series, artists choose from a list of songs to cover, first-come, first-served, and Punch Brothers, first out the gate, chose The Strokes' "Reptilia."
"First up, it’s the thoroughly awesome Punch Brothers, who covered The Cars for us way back in 2012," says A.V. Club's Josh Modell. "[Y]ou can never hear a banjo- and mandolin-assisted cover of The Strokes' 'Reptilia' too many times."
Watch them perform it (as many times as you'd like) in the video below.

Good question! Not sure why,
Good question! Not sure why, but it looks like the A.V. Club has removed all of its Undercover videos prior to 2017.
