Garbage has
announced that their fifth studio album, Not Your Kind Of People,
will be released in the United States on May 15, 2012, on the band's label
STUNVOLUME. As V Magazine recently put
it: "The poster girl for '90s alternative rock is ready to
reclaim her reign - and the radio - with a new record from her iconic band,
Garbage."
"Working with Garbage again was very
instinctual," said Duke Erikson. "Like getting on a
bicycle...with three other people." He adds "We
haven't felt this good about a Garbage record since the last one!"
Garbage - Shirley Manson (vocals), Steve Marker
(guitars, keyboards), Duke Erikson (guitars, keyboards) and Butch Vig (drums,
loops) - will hit the road this spring in support of the album by
performing several headlining shows as well as various festivals throughout
Europe and the U.S. with more dates to be confirmed.
"Thinking about going back on the road is both
thrilling and terrifying in equal measure," said Shirley Manson.
".........but we've always enjoyed a little pain mixed in with our
pleasure."

was certified double platinum in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the
United States. The band won the Breakthrough Artist Award at the
1996 MTV Europe Music Awards, and was nominated for the Best New Artist
Grammy® Award. Their second album, Version 2.0, was released
in 1998 and topped the charts in the United Kingdom. It was
nominated for two Grammy Awards including Album of the Year and Best Rock
Album. 2001's Beautiful Garbage was named one
of Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 10 Albums Of The
Year. In 2005, Garbage released Bleed Like Me, earning
the band it's highest chart position with a No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200
Album Chart. In 2007, the band released a retrospective collection
called Absolute Garbage. Garbage has sold over 12 million albums
worldwide. They have performed in over thirty-five countries and will tour
