Review: V/A Why Cows Eat Grass Vol. 1



I love regional music compilations and this one released by Teenage Head Records for Record Store Day recently is no exception. It features the up and coming Malaysian bands such as Jaggfuzzbeats, Crack Guilty and also a 10 years old band The Otherside Orchestra.

It’s safely to say most of the bands fall under the indie / rock genre. They are selected based on what Radzi (of THR and his store crew) have been spinning on their decks. Lust was said to be ‘the band of the year 2017’ by Radzi.

The bands are Jaggfuzzbeats, The Otherside Orchestra, Lust, Golden Mammoth, Crack Guilty, Elmu Hisab, The Fatalis, Trifecta, Ramayan and also Nirmala. I fell in love with Jaggfuzzbeats and Crack Guilty checking out their videos and Bandcamp until I can’t listen to it for free anymore.

Now it’s time to hunt down their physical releases. To purchase, visit Teenage Head Records on Facebook or Instagram.
