The Edinburgh Empress and her boys are back with Bleed Like Me, Garbage's first release in almost four years and what a long, shitty four years it has been for Garbage.
While touring in 2002 lead singer Shirley Manson lost her voice and had to have a cyst removed from her vocal chords leaving her unable to speak for a brief period of time. Manson then reportedly separated from her husband though the details have understandably been kept private. As if Shirley's issues weren't enough for the band to deal with, Garbage mastermind Butch Vig slipped into a coma due to undiagnosed, Pamela Anderson-grade Type A Hepatitis. When he finally got back on his feet, Vig soon checked back into the hospital, this time for Bell's Palsy. With its release being a year later than expected, that Bleed Like Me ever got made is nothing short of a miracle.
