Garbage was the name of an alternative rock band that got started in the mid-1990s, with lead vocalist Shirley Manson. They released two albums in the 90's, both of which were successful, and a couple of studio albums in the 2000's, which were flops compared to the other two. In the past five years, they have been working to attempt a comeback. It is possible that they might release a fifth studio album later this year.
