As 2026 starts to heat up sonically, there’s no shortage of album rollouts and fresh announcements, replete with music videos for brand new singles by a plethora of artists, including Jill Scott, Yellow Days, Of The Trees, Gorillaz, and By Storm. While surfing the Tube today, one will stumble across a variety of strange gems, ranging from all the aforementioned to a wild cover of Chappell Roan by none other than GWAR.

Season 10 of The A.V. Club’s “A.V. Undercover” series continues with GWAR following up on their 2024 cover of The Barbie Soundtrack‘s “I’m Just Ken”.
