Garbage Releases Politically Charged Single Ahead of May Album

Garbage has released a politically charged new single, "Get Out My Face AKA Bad Kitty," from their upcoming album Let All That We Imagine Be the Light, set for release on May 30. The track features Shirley Manson's defiant vocals alongside sharp guitars and gritty basslines, confronting patriarchal systems and the ongoing challenges women and marginalized communities face in America. Manson expresses outrage at the rollback of rights for women, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others, describing it as an "absolute war on women" and a frightening regression into the Middle Ages. The song follows the hopeful lead single "There's No Future in Optimism" and continues the band's signature blend of alt-rock and electronic grit. Garbage will support the album with their Happy Endings North American Tour this fall, marking their first major headline tour in nearly a decade. Throughout the track and upcoming album, the band channels resilience and clarity amid global chaos while maintaining an unapologetically outspoken stance.
