BLEED LIKE ME Ranks Number 4 On Billboard 

GARBAGE'S BLEED LIKE ME ENTERS Number 4 ON BILLBOARD ALBUM CHART; RANKING IS THE BAND'S HIGHEST CAREER

Bleed Like Me the fourth album by the band Garbage makes history today as it enters Billboard's Album Chart at Number 4. The number is the band's highest ranking in the US in its illustrious career. It comes on the heels of the album's first single, "Why Do You Love Me," which rocketed to the top ten on the Modern Rock chart. The album and band have been getting rave reviews in the press including a four star Alternative Press review: "A return to the steady Garbage ferocity of old, it's first rate." In David Fricke's review in Rolling Stone he writes the album is a "high-speed bouquet of rusted-razor blade guitars." Adding that lead singer Shirley Manson "can smell her own blood on these tracks. You hear it in high vicious fidelity."

Shirley Manson, Butch Vig, Duke Erikson, and Steve Marker, the foursome who are Garbage, recently shot the video for their next video which is the album's title track. The award winning and provocative video director Sophie Mueller who directed the video for "Why Do You Love Me," was also at the helm for "Bleed Like Me."

Garbage has been touring North America over the past few weeks, playing sold out nightly shows. Again, the press has been over the top in its praise of the dates, the Los Angeles Times put it simply in closing their review of the band's April 11 at the Wiltern Theater, "Garbage is back and better than ever."
