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.
Marker: I know not everybody has satellite radio, and it’s a luxury and all that, but you’ve got to check this out if you get chance. It’s like a parallel universe where crap radio doesn’t exist and everybody is loving the Ramones, the Ronettes, the exuberant Dave Clark Five, Garbage and the Dead Boys all at once. The best driving station ever, with the best DJs. It’s just the best damn thing ever. Pushin’ Too Hard!
