Garbage capture live sound on new record

With Garbage set to release their long-awaited fourth album, Bleed Like Me, on April 12, the band is ready to talk about their new songs and the long break between records. In an interview with Kerrang! magazine, singer Shirley Manson describes Bleed Like Me as “the closest we’ve ever come to capturing what we sound like live on a record. It’s more simple, straightforward and more of a rock record. We wanted to forget all of the technology and work on capturing our live sound instead.”
Along with seemingly every other record out there, Dave Grohl makes a cameo on Bleed Like Me, playing drums on the song “Bad Boyfriend.” Garbage drummer Butch Vig ran into his old friend at a Christmas party and asked him to play on the album. Vig told MTV.com, “He was like, ‘OK, dude, just give me a call.’ And we did and we didn’t hear anything for two months, and all of a sudden we get a call saying, ‘Dave can be in the studio tomorrow.’ He came in and did three takes on it, and by the third take he nailed it.”
Garbage has also announced a handful of North American concert dates for this spring in San Francisco, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Montreal, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Madison, WI.
