Garbage is an American rock band formed in 1993 in Madison, Wisconsin, which quickly rose to fame with their fusion of alternative rock, electronica, and grunge influences. The group's lineup consists of Scottish singer Shirley Manson and American musicians Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, and Butch Vig. Vig is notably recognized for his work as a producer on Nirvana's seminal album "Nevermind." Garbage distinguished themselves with their provocative and cutting-edge sound, characterized by Manson's distinctive vocals and the band's innovative production techniques.

Over the years, Garbage has enjoyed enduring success, releasing acclaimed albums that have showcased their willingness to experiment and evolve. Albums such as their self-titled debut in 1995, which included hits like "Stupid Girl" and "Only Happy When It Rains," and the subsequent "Version 2.0," laid the groundwork for their signature style. Their extensive discography has grown with their more recent offerings such as "Strange Little Birds" (2016), which continued to display their edgy and atmospheric sound, and "No Gods No Masters" (2021), an album that delved into socio-political commentary, reaffirming the band's relevance and their commitment to pushing the boundaries of alternative rock music. Meanwhile, singles like "The Men Who Rule the World" and "Wolves" exemplify Garbage's ability to craft pointed lyrical messages within the context of their compelling, layered compositions.
