Although the group’s status has been uncertain since the fall of 2005, drummer Butch Vig has told MTV that they are preparing to start recording a new disc. "We’re recording a couple new songs at the end of February," drummer Butch Vig revealed recently. "I think everyone’s excited about getting back in a room and playing some music together."
The new songs from Garbage will be part of a compilation CD that should be released later this year.
Vig added, "There was originally talk about doing a B-side and remix CD as well. I’m not sure what we’ll do, but we have a lot of B-sides and remixes over the years, so it would be cool to see that come out in a proper package for our hard-core fans."
Garbage will also be performing together for the first time in over a year. On January 31, they will participate in a benefit concert to help a friend who is suffering from breast cancer.
