The Laureates have dubbed 2010 the “year of the covers,” because they are planning on recording and releasing a cover song for free download on their website every month. First up are the Chicago quartet’s takes on the Velvet Underground’s “I Can’t Stand It” and the Breeders’ “Do You Love Me Now,” which you can download below. But that’s not all. The band is also releasing a new EP, No Kontrol (Funambulist), on February 16, which will send the guys on a string of live performances, including East Coast dates in April.
