It seems like Garbage never comes up on either critical or nostalgia lists of ’90s alt rock bands, even though they had a pretty dynamic lead singer in Shirley Manson, and Butch Vig, a producer associated with many other well-loved ’90s alt rock bands. Maybe they’ll have a chance to revive their reputation (or create a new one) with their just-announced album and tour. According to The Harold, Manson told a group of music industry majors that the band had just started recording. “I’m working on a record right now with the band. We’ve recorded quite a lot but it’s difficult to quantify. It’s the first one in a long time. I took about five years off. I’d like to do some touring next year.” (She spent part of that time off playing a T-1001 Terminator in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.)

This makes me happy. So very, very happy. I have all of their CDs and did get to see them live at a theater in my hometown and they were awesome. Shirley is beyond amazing.
