In the latest installment of the A.V. Undercover series, John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats decided to take on Jawbreaker’s 1994 track, “Boxcar.” The song might seem like a surprising choice for the band, but thanks in part to a few lyrical changes, it really works. As Darnielle explains, “You always feel a connection to that sort of thing because the whole thing is: everybody feels beleaguered at some point. I mean, that’s the universal truth of punk… At the same time, I don’t think I feel as beleaguered as the authors of the lyrics do.” Click through for their live performance.
