Garbage is an American rock band formed in 1993 in Madison, Wisconsin.[1] The band's line-up consisting of Scottish musician Shirley Manson (vocals) and American musicians Duke Erikson (guitar, bass, keyboards), Steve Marker (guitar, keyboards), and Butch Vig (percussion) has remained unchanged since its inception. All four members are involved in songwriting and production. Garbage has sold over 17 million albums worldwide.[2]
The band's 1995 eponymous debut album was critically acclaimed, selling over four million copies and achieving double platinum certification in the UK, the US, and Australia. It was accompanied by a string of increasingly successful singles, including "Stupid Girl" and "Only Happy When It Rains".[3][4] Follow-up Version 2.0 (1998) was equally successful, topping the UK Albums Chart and receiving two Grammy Award nominations. The band followed this by performing and co-producing the theme song to the 19th James Bond film The World Is Not Enough (1999).[5][6] Their third album Beautiful Garbage (2001) was also critically praised,[7] but failed to match the commercial success of its predecessors, despite selling over a million copies in its first three months.[8][9]
Garbage quietly disbanded amidst the troubled production of their fourth album Bleed Like Me (2005), but regrouped to complete the album, which peaked at a career-high number four in the US.[10] The band cut short their Bleed Like Me concert tour and announced an indefinite hiatus to pursue separate interests.[11][12] It was briefly interrupted in 2007, when they recorded new tracks for their greatest hits album Absolute Garbage.[13] The band reunited in 2011,[14] and self-released their fifth album, Not Your Kind of People (2012), on their own label Stunvolume to positive reviews. They followed it with Strange Little Birds (2016) and No Gods No Masters (2021).[15] The band's eighth studio album, Let All That We Imagine Be the Light, is scheduled for release on May 30, 2025.
