Archival Mixtape #4 – Cows

 

 

Previous archival mixtapes: Karp | Coil | Brainiac

 

Longtime denizens of the Minneapolis rock scene, the Cows are one of America’s great degenerate punk rock bands. Starting off as near-total incompetents, they have become more technically polished musicians during the ’90s, but their white-hot noise rock has not been tamed one bit. In many ways, the Cows remain as gloriously messy, primitive, and exciting as they were the day they started.
