NEW ALBUM TO BE RELEASED IN TWO CONFIGURATIONS ON MAY 15, 2012
BAND UNVEILS TRACKLISTING, ALBUM ART AND MORE TOUR DATES
LOS ANGELES, CA – March 8, 2012 – Garbage – Shirley Manson (vocals), Steve Marker (guitars, keyboards), Duke Erikson (guitars, keyboards) and Butch Vig (drums, loops) – announced that “Blood For Poppies” would be the first single from their upcoming studio album, Not Your Kind Of People, due out on May 15, 2012 on the band’s STUNVOLUME record label.
“The song is meant to feel sort of like an abstract dream,” said Shirley Manson. “The inspiration came from a story I had read in The Los Angeles Times about the opium trade and also from watching the documentary ‘Restrepo.’ It’s not literal in any sense whatsoever but it’s a song about disorientation and delusion and the human struggle to stay sane in the face of insanity.”
The video for “Blood For Poppies” was recently shot in Los Angeles by renowned fashion photographer and filmmaker Matt Irwin. Additionally, the band filmed a video that they posted to their social media revealing the tracklisting for Not Your Kind Of People:
Not Your Kind Of People will be released in both a standard and a deluxe configuration. Fans can preorder either version on Amazon now: Standard and Deluxe

UPDATE: our limited edition shirts are now sold out. Thank you so much to everyone who bought one! We will have more merch available as we get closer to our “Not Your Kind of People” release date so stay tuned!
We have one more little treat for you today…….To keep with today’s “I Hate Love” theme, we are releasing a special very limited edition t-shirt designed by friend of the band, artist Heather Gabel. Only 500 of these shirts will be made, so you’ll have to act quickly.
We have the most incredible fans. We are overwhelmed by the amazing “I Hate Love” art we received from all of you from across the globe. As a Valentine’s Day treat, here’s a sneak peak of a new song called “I Hate Love’ showcasing some of your art. We weren’t able to include all of your love-hating creations in the video clip, but we will put together “I Hate Love” photo albums on our Facebook page today to display everyone’s work. We can’t thank you all enough for inspiring us.
It’s coming up to the 14th of February. Being that we have a new song called “I Hate Love” and having been blown away with the artistic efforts made by you all for the Garbage Cover Contest we decided we would like to see your love-hating artistic creations - paintings, drawings, photos inspired by this event. However, unlike the Garbage Cover Contest which was not run by Garbage, this is an official request by us.
Please submit your lovely works of art to ihatelove@garbage.com by 10pm PST Friday, February 10th and we’ll incorporate them into something special that we’ll reveal on the dreaded day itself….. Valentine’s Day.
*Please keep file size to 2MB and under.
UPDATE: Submission deadline has passed, stay tuned tomorrow for the finished project!
We’ve added a second live show in Los Angeles at the El Rey for the evening of April 9.
Tickets will go on sale Saturday, February 11 at 10am PST on Ticketmaster. There will be a 2 ticket limit per person and the entire show will be forced will call–meaning you will need to present your credit card and ID to pick up your tickets the night of the show, then you and your guest will immediately enter the venue.
We have put these ticket buying measures into place so as to protect as many real garbage fans as possible. We want our fans be able to get tickets for as reasonable a price as possible. NOT the scalpers. Unfortunately we don’t have a solution to the scalper problem but these measures should help protect our fans.
But remember……….these measures don’t guarantee you a ticket! We have not played in 7 years and as a result our shows are selling very fast.
