THIS IS THE NOISE THAT KEEPS ME AWAKE

Garbage

Famous for their eclectic and original style and use of multiple music genres, Garbage—Shirley Manson, Butch Vig, Steve Marker, and Duke Erikson—have enjoyed both critical and commercial success for more than twenty years.
Their debut album, Garbage, sold over four million copies and they were nominated for three Grammy awards. They’ve since recorded five more multimillion-copy, best-selling albums, as well as the theme song to the James Bond movie The World Is Not Enough. In 2015 they celebrated the twentieth anniversary of their debut record with a worldwide tour. Garbage’s sixth album, Strange Little Birds, was released in 2016. Now, for the first time, the four band members tell the story of their incredible journey in their own words.

From the band’s first meeting in London and the early days of making their debut album in Madison, Wisconsin, in the depths of winter, through numerous worldwide tours and multimillion-copy selling albums, This Is the Noise That Keeps Me Awake is filled with personal anecdotes and memories from each of the band members, as well as never-before-seen photographs and other images.

It was 1995, we were finishing our debut album, and I was stressed. A lot of music business people had told me it was a mistake to give up full-time music production to start a band. So I ignored them all and took a leap of faith. The simplest reason was that I just wanted to be in a band with my friends. I'd been playing with Duke and Steve for several years, and now we had a new beginning with an X factor: a Scottish singer named Shirley. She seemed like a good fit for our little club of misfits. So we all took that leap.
