 moreGarbage was the brainchild of producers Butch Vig, Duke Erikson, and
Steve Marker. A native of Viroqua, Wisconsin, Vig learned to play piano as a
child and drums as a teenager. After leaving college, he met future bandmate
Erikson in the band Spooner. One of that band's fans turned out to be Marker,
who approached the group and remained in touch over the years. While each one
went on to pursue their own careers -- Vig became an in-demand producer, best
known for helming Nirvana's breakthrough, Nevermind -- they wouldn't reunite
until 1993, when they officially formed Garbage.

In search of a lead singer, the trio caught wind of Scottish vocalist Shirley
Manson. Influenced by pioneering female rock vocalists Siouxsie Sioux, Patti
Smith, Chrissie Hynde, and Debbie Harry, Manson kicked off her music career at a
young age, joining rock band Goodbye Mr. MacKenzie while just a teenager,
playing keyboards and singing backing vocals from 1984 until the band's breakup
in 1993. Along with three former MacKenzie bandmates, Manson formed alt-rock
foursome Angelfish, which released a single, eponymous album in 1994. Back in
the U.S., Marker saw a video for Angelfish's single "Suffocate Me." He contacted
Manson and, after a couple auditions, she formally joined Garbage as their lead
singer in August 1994.

Late that year and into early 1995, Garbage holed up in their Wisconsin studio
to record their debut album. That eponymous first effort arrived in August on
Almo Sounds. After receiving support from radio and MTV, the album began to
climb the charts toward the end of 1995, peaking at number 20 on the Billboard
200. By the summer of 1996, Garbage had gone gold in the United States, and
shortly afterward it achieved platinum status, supported by radio hits "Queer,"
"Only Happy When It Rains," and "Stupid Girl." Garbage was eventually certified
multi-platinum and nominated for a pair of Grammy Awards in 1997. The band
closed the era with a standout inclusion on the Romeo + Juliet film soundtrack,
"#1 Crush," which topped the Billboard alternative chart in early 1997.

That summer, Garbage began work on their second album. The record, Version 2.0,
was released in May 1998. Topping the U.K. chart and peaking at number 13 in the
U.S., Version 2.0 produced six singles, three of which ("Push It," "I Think I'm
Paranoid," and "When I Grow Up") were U.K. top ten hits. In the midst of an
international headlining tour, Garbage received a pair of Grammy nominations for
Album of the Year and Best Rock Album. At the tail-end of the album cycle, they
contributed another hit song to a movie soundtrack, this time for the 19th James
Bond flick, The World Is Not Enough.

For their third album, Beautiful Garbage, the band veered in a new direction,
incorporating the sounds of hip-hop, R&B, and early-'60s girl groups. The first
single, "Androgyny," became a moderate radio hit, but momentum stalled due to
decreased promotion following 9/11. Three additional singles, including the
electronic-pop "Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!)," kept the band on international
charts into 2002. They promptly returned to the studio for a follow-up, but
health issues and rising tension marred the recording process. The resulting
album, Bleed Like Me, arrived in 2005 on A&E/Geffen. Their first Top Five
showing on the Billboard 200, the straightforward rock set featured production
by John King (Dust Brothers) and additional drumming from Dave Grohl. "Why Do
You Love Me" became their highest-charting U.S. single since 1998's "Special,"
and subsequent selections "Sex Is Not the Enemy" and "Run Baby Run" charted
internationally. Despite being a return to form after Beautiful Garbage, Bleed
Like Me hit a terminal road block when the supporting tour was canceled and the
band announced it was going on an indefinite hiatus. During this time, Vig
busied himself with various production projects, including nabbing a Grammy for
Green Day's 2009 album 21st Century Breakdown. Also otherwise engaged, Manson
recorded solo material and made her acting debut on the Fox television show
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. A greatest-hits set, Absolute Garbage,
kept fans hopeful for an eventual return, which wouldn't happen until 2012.

After years of studio work, Garbage released their fifth album, Not Your Kind of
People, in 2012. The first album of all-new material since 2005's Bleed Like Me,
Not Your Kind of People was also their first independent release. Self-released
on their own Stunvolume label, it included the lead single "Blood for Poppies"
and peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 200. An international tour kept them on
the road until 2013. That year, Garbage teamed with Screaming Females for the
Record Store Day single "Because the Night." In 2014, they commemorated Record
Store Day with the Brody Dalle-assisted "Girls Talk" b/w "Time Will Destroy
Everything." The stand-alone single "The Chemicals" was released for 2015's
Record Store Day and featured a guest appearance from Silversun Pickups' Brian
Aubert. A deluxe double-disc remaster of Garbage arrived at the end of the year,
accompanied by the 20 Years Queer tour.

Garbage's sixth album, Strange Little Birds, was issued in 2016. Again
self-released, it was a back-to-basics record, recorded in Vig's basement. Their
least-produced album to date, it featured little of the obsessive studio
tinkering that had characterized their earlier work, showcased by the raw,
soulful single "Empty." Strange Little Birds topped the U.S. Independent, Top
Alternative, and Top Rock charts, peaking at number 14 on the Billboard 200.

For the 20th anniversary of Garbage's sophomore effort, Version 2.0 in 2018, the
band embarked on a tour and released a deluxe reissue that collected B-sides and
rarities from the era. Their seventh studio album, No Gods No Masters, arrived
in 2021, with its placement in their discography becoming a major theme for the
record; they used the lens of the seven sins, sorrows, and virtues to explore
chaos and injustice around the world. The set was a critical success for the
band that resulted in an extended touring schedule over the following years,
appearing alongside the likes of Alanis Morissette, Tears for Fears, Noel
Gallagher, and Metric. Seizing the moment, they released a 20th anniversary
reissue of Beautiful Garbage and a sprawling, 35-song compilation, Anthology, in
2022. Two years later, it was time for another anniversary, with Bleed Like Me
receiving the deluxe treatment. A pair of EPs -- Witness to Your Love and Lie to
Me -- were also issued during this time.

In 2025, the quartet returned with their eighth LP, Let All That We Imagine Be
The Light, which opted for hope (however tempered) in the face of the global
turmoil and personal upheavals experienced between albums. © Neil Z. Yeung
