Garbage |
The brainchild of drummer/producer Butch Vig, Garbage sprang up in the mid-1990s at just the right time. Where many bands had attempted the female-fronted electronic/alternative hybridization formula, Garbage somehow clicked with the public. Vig's previous production work with Smashing Pumpkins, L7 and Nirvana had given way to slick alternative rock that seemed just a little bit dirty. Scottish frontwoman Shirley Manson helped considerably with her lusciously sneering vocals and quote-ready diatribes. In 1999, the band joined the ranks of a-ha and Duran Duran with their song contribution to a James Bond film ("The World Is Not Enough," from the movie by the same name).Find Garbage cds and Garbage records on Mushroom Records. |
