welcome to Garbage Songs
Butch Vig
"We filter a lot of things. A lot of people will try to make the guitar sound as big as possible. But in the context of the track, you don't necessarily need to hear all those frequencies, you just need to hear the fundamental. Through panning and filtering a lot of things can co-exist peacefully on the same track."
Shirley Manson
"I felt an ugly, disenfranchised teenager. All the cool people seemed to have these weird-sounding elitist bands they listened to, so I went out and bought Velvet Underground, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop and Siouxsie Sioux. I was mostly attracted by female musicians, they felt closer to me."
Duke Erikson
"I live in a wooden house on a hill, yeah, just like Norman Bates! But I don't live with my mother, she's just staying the weekend."
Steve Marker
"There's about five million bands that we've stolen stuff from, but the one thing they have in common is that they try and make records sound interesting and unique. People like Roxy Music, Beatles, Chemical Brothers, Radiohead, Bjork and The Prodigy all do things that inspire us to try harder."
