Photo credit: Joseph Cultice May 9, 2025—Influential alternative rock band Garbage today unveil a new song, “Get Out My Face AKA Bad Kitty,” the second taken from their highly anticipated new studio album Let All That We Imagine Be The Light—listen/share here. “Get Out My Face AKA Bad Kitty” sees Shirley Manson questioning the patriarchal structures of the world, against a sonic backdrop of sharp guitars, driving bass, and a characteristically powerful vocal performance. The song’s title comes from the original instrumental the band sent to Manson, which was titled AKA Bad Kitty. “When I was young, I didn’t really notice how things worked,” says Manson. “People like to shuffle older women off the lot, because you start to see the chessboard in a way you didn’t when you were younger. When you’re young, you’re wanting to get on with your life, have an adventure, do what you love, and you’re conditioned by the society that you grew up in, so a lot of the time you don’t see what’s going on. Then, as you get older, you start to see how things are stacked up against some of us – not all of us. I am outraged by the way the world treats blacks and browns and gays and trans peoples and animals and women. Living in America over the last couple of years, the absolute war on women in America is astounding. All the rights that we felt had been secured are starting to get pushed back into the Middle Ages. It is something that I can no longer tolerate silently. It’s not just infuriating, it’s alarming. It’s frightening.” The powerful new song follows, “There’s No Future In Optimism,” which is already drawing critical acclaim; Rolling Stone praises, "Far from enervating, the song is an energetic call for love and compassion during dark times.” Let All That We Imagine Be The Light, set for release May 30, is the follow-up to 2021’s critically acclaimed No Gods No Masters, praised in The New York Times as a “thrumming mix of goth and orchestral pop.” According to Manson, the new album was forged out of the need to find an uplifting thread amidst the swell of chaos and extraordinary upheaval in the world. In support of the record, the band will embark on a 31-city tour across North America this fall: “Happy Endings” will see stops at New York’s Brooklyn Paramount, Washington D.C.’s The Anthem, San Francisco’s The Warfield and more—tickets are on sale now here. For over thirty years, Garbage’s powerful live show has captivated audiences and continues to inspire worldwide adoration. “Happy Endings” marks Garbage’s first extensive headline tour in the U.S. in almost ten years. Garbage consists of all four original band members: Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig. Over the 30 years since their inception in 1995, they have sold over 20 million albums. Their unique sound, songwriting and electric live performances have cultivated global admiration, chart success and critical acclaim. They are considered one of the most influential bands of their generation.
