A.V. Undercover is an American live music web series created by The A.V. Club, distributed by on their website. The series premiered on March 9, 2010.
The concept of the show is that each season, readers of The A.V. Club compile a list of 25 songs. Bands are then invited to choose a song to cover. Once a song has been played, it gets crossed off the list. The later a band comes on, the fewer songs they have to choose from.
