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: Admit it. When Joan Jett and The Blackhearts light up your radio, is there anything better? No, there isn’t. I think it was probably really difficult and brave for her to get those first Joan Jett records out. It couldn’t have been easy at the time, but me and my friends loved every song on those records then, and it all still sounds completely great now. And she’s still out there doing it now because she believes in it. Inspirational to me.
