Vig Says Garbage Is A ‘Pop Mongrel’

Chris Nixon of Slamm San Diego interviewed Garbage drummer Butch Vig, who talked about the band’s ability to cover a lot of musical territory. “We don’t feel like we’re stuck in one niche or one rut, and it really allows us to experiment,” said Vig. “We call ourselves a ‘pop mongrel,’ because we incorporate styles from all over the place while trying to write hooks into the songs, whether it’s the drums, the bass line or the melody.”
