OAG, also known as Old Automatic Garbage, is a Malaysian alternative rock band that initially soared to fame in the mid-1990s. With their unique blend of Britpop-influenced rock and distinctively playful lyrical style, OAG is often credited with pioneering the Malaysian indie music scene. The band's line-up has undergone changes over the years with Radhi Razali, the lead vocalist, being a consistent figure and the face of the band.

Their 1994 debut album, "Old Automatic Garbage," from which their name is derived, proved to be a seminal release, featuring the hit track '60's TV' which became an anthem across Southeast Asian alternative music circles. The band's sound evolved with subsequent releases, but they maintained their stance at the forefront of the Malaysian music scene. Notable works such as "Operahidup" in 2002 showcased their ability to experiment with sounds and styles, while their "EP 67" in 2018, along with singles like "Gold Automatic Garbage," "Beautifool," and "Knocked Silly," illustrated OAG's longevity and continued relevance in the industry. With a reputation for catchy hooks and thought-provoking lyrics, OAG has etched a permanent place in the region's musical heritage.
