Garbage is an American alternative rock band formed in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1993 consisting of Scottish lead vocalist Shirley Manson and American musicians Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, and Butch Vig. Garbage became known for their innovative fusion of rock, electronica, grunge, and pop, creating a dark yet polished sound that stood out in the 1990s music scene. Their self-titled debut album, Garbage (1995), produced hits like “Stupid Girl” and “Only Happy When It Rains”, earning them critical acclaim and international success. The band continued to evolve with albums such as Version 2.0 and Beautiful Garbage, exploring themes of identity, technology, and emotional complexity. With Manson’s commanding presence and the band’s layered production, Garbage remains a pioneering force in modern alternative music.
