Garbage

With over 17 million albums sold worldwide and multiple awards and nominations, American rock band Garbage has established a globally recognized career defined by their distinctive musical style and influential albums. Garbage formed in 1993 in Madison, Wisconsin, comprising Shirley Manson (vocals), Duke Erikson (guitar, bass, keyboards), Steve Marker (guitar, keyboards), and Butch Vig (drums, percussion), all contributing to songwriting and production. Following Vig’s notable production work for artists including Nirvana, the band developed their sound by experimenting with remixing sensibilities, intentionally differentiating from grunge to craft a unique pop record. Shirley Manson joined in April 1994, bringing her distinctive vocals.

In 2022, the band released Anthology, a greatest hits album celebrating their extensive catalog and continued influence. Garbage continues to tour globally and remains active in the music scene. Most recently, their eighth studio album, Let All That We Imagine Be the Light, is slated for release on May 30, 2025, signaling an exciting new phase in their enduring career.
