Description

"It was 1995, we were finishing our debut album, and I was stressed. A lot of music business people had told me it was a mistake to give up full-time music production to start a band. So I ignored them all and took a leap of faith. The simplest reason was that I just wanted to be in a band with my friends. I'd been playing with Duke and Steve for several years, and now we had a new beginning with an X factor: a Scottish singer named Shirley. She seemed like a good fit for our little club of misfits. So we all took that leap." --Drummer Butch Vig, from This Is the Noise That Keeps Me Awake World famous for their eclectic, original style, Garbage have enjoyed critical and commercial success for more than twenty years. Now, for the first time, the four band members tell the story of their incredible journey in their own words. This full-color book examines how Garbage makes their music, the tolls this takes, and how they have survived for this long. Garbage (Shirley Manson, Butch Vig, Steve Marker, and Duke Erikson) formed in Wisconsin in 1994. Their debut album, Garbage, sold over four million copies and they were nominated for three Grammy awards. They've since recorded five more multimillion-copy bestselling albums as well as the theme song to the James Bond movie The World Is Not Enough. In 2015 they celebrated the twentieth anniversary of their debut record with a worldwide tour. Garbage's sixth album, Strange Little Birds, was released in 2016.
