The A.V. Club’s web series “Undercover: 25 Bands, 25 Cover Songs, 1 Small Room” follows up last week’s installment — Superchunk tearing through The Cure’s “Inbetween Days” — with another iconic ’80s college-rock tune: The Replacements’ “I Will Dare,” as reimagined by Mates of State (using a dash of trumpet, and comedian Todd Barry on drums, no less). Check it out above, and follow the links after the jump to watch some previous installments.
