This pint-sized four-piece took a shot at covering Weezer’s 1994 hit, “Undone – The Sweater Song.” But about 30 seconds into their cover (after a pretty good start!), it all goes terribly wrong due to an equipment malfunction. It all turns pretty emo, as the young singer freezes and just accepts defeat. It was very […]
