Since releasing their eponymous debut album in 1995, Garbage has blazed a unique sonic trail, garnering critical acclaim and amassing a passel of hits as well as seven Grammy nominations along the way to 17 million albums sold.
Comprised of Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig, Garbage first came onto the scene with the critically acclaimed ‘Garbage’ which sold over 4m copies achieving double platinum certification in the UK, US and Australia.
The band have had 6 UK Top 10 albums including a #1 album Version 2.0.
They also famously co-wrote & performed the theme tune to the 19th James Bond film The World is Not Enough in 1999.
Garbage have received 27 major award nominations including the Grammys and the BRITs, winning 15 awards.
“I pinch myself every time we start a record because I feel Garbage has always been such a great creative palette for all of us,” says Vig, who first melded musical minds with fellow Midwesterners Erikson and Marker in the ‘80s before they invited Scotswoman Manson to join the circus in 1994. “We have a sound I can't even articulate, but it's a pretty wide horizon—electronica, punk rock, orchestral music, pop songs and fuzzy guitar riffs. We've blended all those things together, so we've never been a one-dimensional sounding band.”
Garbage are currently signed to BMG, both under the label and the publishing side.
