"BLOOD FOR POPPIES" TO BE RELEASED ON LIMITED
EDITION, WHITE VINYL 7-INCH FOR RECORD STORE DAY
|
|
Garbage unveiled
"Blood For Poppies," on www.garbage.com as a free download. "We
decided to give the track to our fans first," said the members of
Garbage. "We've always had the most amazingly loyal fans, and we
wanted to show them just how much they mean to us by setting it free to them
first." "Blood For Poppies" is the first single from the bands
highly anticipated album Not Your Kind Of People, which is due
out on May 15th on the bands very own STUNVOLUME record label. On April
21st for Record Store Day, Garbage will release "Blood For Poppies"
on a limited edition, white vinyl 7-inch that will feature the track and an
exclusive remix by drummer Butch Vig.
Garbage front-woman Shirley Manson said, "'Blood For
Poppies' is meant to feel sort of like an abstract dream. The
inspiration came from a story I had read in The Los Angeles Times about
the opium trade and also from watching the documentary Restrepo.
It's not literal in any sense whatsoever but it's a song about disorientation
and delusion and the human struggle to stay sane in the face of
insanity."
Not Your Kind Of People will be released in
both a standard and a deluxe configuration. Fans can preorder either
version here: Standard Edition Preorder and Deluxe Edition Preorder.
Garbage will hit the road this spring in support of the
album by performing several headlining shows in the United States as well as
various festivals throughout Europe with more dates to be announced over the
coming weeks. Full list of dates can be found below.

ABOUT GARBAGE
After forming in Madison, WI, Garbage released their
self-titled debut album in 1995 and rode a wave of visually arresting,
female-fronted alternative rock bands. The album spawned the hit
singles "Stupid Girl" and "Only Happy When It Rains" and
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 its 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
extensively worldwide in support of this new release.
