Female fronted, electronic, alternative rock band Garbage first came onto the scene in 1994; 18 years later the four piece are still performing and even released their fifth studio album earlier this year. Version 2.0 was their second album released 1998 that reached multi-platinum status worldwide.
The album is a mix of rock, electronic and pop boisterousness. They remind me of a poppier version of No Doubt, but without the ska. Personally I reckon they were classified as ‘alternative’ merely because they clearly don’t fit into one single genre. Incorporating so many elements of different musical styles into their sound would have left the band standing alone, however this is precisely what made them so successful.
