Garbage is back. And the band’s sound is the same—but different. Not Your Kind Of People (StunVolume) is the quartet’s first album since 2005, and the distance has got Garbage’s creative juices flowing in exciting ways. First single “Blood For Poppies” has the same driving drums, ripping guitars and biting lyrics as earlier LPs but a poppier hook, while “Battle In Me” is much angrier and, well, Garbage-ier. Not Your Kind Of People is a great fusion of the old and the new—and after seven years of waiting, we are pretty psyched the band is back. The quartet will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com for two weeks, but for those of you who need more Garbage, read our 20 Questions feature with Shirley Manson and Butch Vig.
Manson: I met T. Cole Rachel when I visited NYC on a press junket a few months ago. He was writing a piece on my band for V magazine. We got talking post interview, and in my spectacularly nosey fashion I pushed and prodded him until he very shyly revealed that he had written a book of poetry when he was young called Surviving The Moment Of Impact.
Loving the title, I ordered a copy on Amazon immediately upon returning home. It’s a beautiful little book full of sharp sparkling shards of pain, small town aches, lusts and longing. Go buy a copy today. Make T. Cole Rachel realize he has to write another.
