Garbage - we shall enter the kingdom, where sorrows are humourised and then sung, where magic is spun and exploded into our lives: as it was in 1995, with their snake-like, spine chilling debut album, the self-titled Garbage.
Garbage is composed of Shirley Manson as the lead vocalist, Steve Marker and Duke Erikson with guitars and Butch Vig on the drums.
It all began when Butch and Steve, purchased an old warehouse in '84 to create Smart Studious. While still living in their garage days, they released 3 rock albums. They earned a living by recording singles for local bands. Their most significant work would be Nirvana's Nevermind and Sonic Youth's Dirty in the 90s.
It was in '93 that Duke Erikson came into the picture, as all three found themselves working on remixes for bands like the Nine Inch Nails.
At this moment, Shirley Manson was still doing vocals for a band called Angelfish, that the boys decided to pursue her to join them to form what we now know as Garbage.
Their debut album was relased in '95, and suddenly they were known by every one. 4 million copies were sold to date.
The critics were blown away with singles such as 'Queer' 'Only happy when it rains' and as they sung their way into the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack with 'Number one Crush'. The band had won the mass appeal and critical acclaim by the time they relased their second album Version 2.0.
Likewise with their third album - Beautiful Garbage, it reeked with raw sexual magnetism, with the explosive, conflicting lyrics and hypnotic beats.
The kingdom lives, like all good music does, in the land where perfection is resented and also deeply desired and we continue to be hypnotised...
...the queerest of the queer...
