As we bid farewell to 2025—a year that felt more like a decade, thanks to unprecedented levels of exhaustion—we’re thrilled to bring you something truly uplifting just in time for the solstice. Get ready for the highly anticipated return of A.V. Undercover Season 10, a musical journey that’s been years in the making. Kicking things off with unmatched energy is Chicago’s own power-pop maestros, OK Go, who deliver a captivating cover of The La’s timeless classic, “There She Goes”—a track plucked from the English rock band’s sole album. But here’s where it gets even more exciting: this isn’t OK Go’s first rodeo with Undercover. They’ve returned to the series after their memorable Season 5 performance, where they tackled Squeeze’s “Tempted” with their signature flair.
Earlier this year, OK Go made waves with And The Adjacent Possible, their first studio album in over a decade. We caught up with the band in May during their tour, where they treated fans to a spirited rendition of this pop gem at Ilegal Mezcal in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint neighborhood. Their ability to breathe new life into beloved tracks is a testament to their creativity and enduring appeal.
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: it’s been a whopping seven months since we unveiled the song list for this landmark season, which features a star-studded lineup of returning Undercover artists. We won’t sugarcoat it—the delays were real, thanks to logistical challenges like securing a home base. But the wait is finally over. Mark your calendars for Monday, December 22, when we drop the second installment of this 10-cover season. And the momentum doesn’t stop there—new videos will follow on January 8 and January 15. Your patience has been nothing short of heroic, and we’re grateful for every one of you who’s stuck with us.
But here’s where it gets controversial: With OK Go leading the charge, is this season poised to outshine all previous ones? Or will the delays and challenges overshadow the music itself? And this is the part most people miss—how do you feel about bands revisiting covers years later? Does it add depth, or does it dilute the original magic? Let us know in the comments—we’re all ears. One thing’s for sure: Season 10 is shaping up to be a conversation starter, and we can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
