"Under the Covers, Vol. 1" is the first collaboration between alternative rock artist Matthew Sweet and Bangles singer Susanna Hoffs. Released by Shout! Factory in 2006, it contains 15 cover versions of favorite songs from the 1960s and 1970s. The album was a result of their mutual love for songwriting from the 1960s. [NPR Pop Music, June 2006] Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs decided to record an album together in dedication of that era consisting of only cover versions.

The album was released in April 2006 and they appeared on July 18th on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" to promote the album and tour.
