Shirley Manson talks 20 years of Garbage
On the 20th anniversary of Garbage's landmark debut, lead singer Shirley Manson swings through studio q to chat with Shad.
Shirley Manson says it's dangerous to live in the past — but on the 20th anniversary of Garbage's landmark debut, the frontwoman is making an exception.
In 1995, Garbage emerged with a new form of rock music that was truly alternative. Songs like Stupid Girl hitched distorted electric guitars to seductive dance rhythms.
Today, Manson joins Shad to talk about the self-titled album that shifted the course of pop music, and why she refused to listen to her own band's record for two decades. Describing herself as "a bit of a weirdo", Manson says her band's never quite fit into any scene.
"We were all determined not to be a cliche of success," she says.
