Garbage is an alternative/modern rock band hailing from Madison, Wisconsin, USA. The band consists of Shirley Manson on vocals, keyboards, and guitar; Duke Erikson on bass, guitar, and keyboards; Steve Marker on guitar, keyboards, and loops; and Butch Vig on drums, loops, noise, and fx.

In the early 1980s, Butch Vig and Steve Marker founded Smart Studios in Madison. They later formed Fire Town in the late 1980s after their previous band Spooner disbanded. Meanwhile, Marker worked as their roadie. During this time, Vig and Marker gained experience in making electronic/rock mixes for artists like Nine Inch Nails and House Of Pain.

In 1993, inspired by their remixing experiments and genre-bending approach to music production, Vig and Marker decided to form a band. They began searching for a singer to complete the lineup. It was then that Steve Marker stumbled upon a video of Scottish band Angelfish featuring lead singer Shirley Manson's captivating voice on MTV's "120 Minutes". Impressed by her talent, he informed his fellow band members who subsequently invited Manson to audition in Madison.

Although her initial audition was unsuccessful [but she asked for another chance], Manson impressed them with skeletal versions of a few songs during her second audition. This led to the official formation of Garbage in 1994. The band released their self-titled debut album

Infectious is a UK-based independent record label that was re-launched in January 2009. Previously known as Infectious Records since 1993, the label is now headed up by Korda Marshall as the Managing Director and Pat Carr as the General Manager. They are supported by Connie Meade and Mike Ajayi in sales, marketing, International, and A&R.

With a strong team behind them, Infectious has been making waves in the music industry. Their dedication to discovering talented artists and promoting their work has earned them a reputation for excellence. The label's commitment to quality extends to every aspect of their business, from production to distribution.

In September 2014, BMG acquired Infectious, further solidifying their position in the industry. This partnership allows Infectious to continue growing while maintaining their independent spirit and artistic integrity.
