Yes, Garbage is alive and well… and rockin'. The band, made up of Shirley Manson, Steve Marker, Duke Erikson and Butch Vig released a new music video for their single "Empty" from their forthcoming album Strange Little Birds due out on June 10th on the band's own STUNVOLUME Records.
The video reunites the band with award-winning director Samuel Bayer who directed the group's music videos for "Stupid Girl", "Only Happy When It Rains", and "Vow".
Strange Little Birds, the band's sixth studio album, was recorded and produced by the band in Los Angeles and is the follow up to 2012's heralded Not Your Kind of People.
