Garbage was formed in 1993 in Madison, Wisconsin, consisting of Shirley Manson (vocals), Duke Erikson (guitar, bass, keyboards), Steve Marker (guitar, keyboards), and Butch Vig (drums, percussion). All four members contribute to songwriting and production. The band’s formation stemmed from Erikson, Marker, and Vig’s previous collaborations in bands like Spooner and Fire Town, and Vig’s work as a producer, notably for Nirvana. The idea for Garbage emerged from experimenting with remixing sensibilities, aiming to translate diverse musical elements into a cohesive band sound. The name ‘Garbage’ originated from a comment during early recording sessions, and later, Vig’s journal entry reflecting on the creative process: ‘I hope that all this garbage will become something beautiful!’.
Shirley Manson joined the band after Steve Marker saw her music video for “Suffocate Me” by her previous band Angelfish. After an initial audition in April 1994, which coincided with the news of Kurt Cobain’s suicide, Manson was invited for a second session. Despite her lack of experience as a session player, her “quiet vocals” impressed the band, leading her to relocate to Madison, Wisconsin. This period saw the development of early tracks like “Stupid Girl,” “Queer,” and “Vow.” The band intentionally differentiated their sound from grunge, striving for a pop record. They sent out demo tapes without bios to avoid leveraging Vig’s production fame, securing deals with Mushroom UK and Almo Sounds. Their first track, “Vow,” gained significant radio airplay and peaked at No. 26 on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart in July 1995.
The band’s self-titled debut album, “Garbage,” released in 1995, received critical acclaim and achieved double platinum certification in the UK, US, and Australia, selling over four million copies. Subsequent albums like “Version 2.0” (1998) also achieved significant success, topping the UK Albums Chart and earning two Grammy Award nominations. Garbage further solidified their presence by performing and co-producing “The World Is Not Enough” (1999), the theme song for the James Bond film. After a period of quiet disbandment and hiatus amidst the production of their fourth album, “Bleed Like Me” (2005), the band reunited in 2011, self-releasing “Not Your Kind of People” (2012) and continuing to release new music and tour globally. Their eighth studio album, “Let All That We Imagine Be the Light,” was released on May 30, 2025.
