Garbage
After a rather lengthy hiatus to pursue acting roles and other musical projects, Shirley Manson and the boys returned in 2012 with their first live shows since 2005's 'Bleed Like Me'. Their irresistible blend of gothic indie-rock with subtle dance undertones saw the band achieve a string of Top 40 singles in both the UK and US in the '90s and early '00s, including 'Only Happy When It Rains', 'Stupid Girl', 'Push It', 'I Think I'm Paranoid', 'Why Do You Love Me' and the Bond theme 'The World Is Not Enough'. They released their 6th studio album 'Strange Little Birds' in 2016, reaching no.1 on the US Billboard Independent, Alternative and Rock album charts.

Skunk Anansie
Aggressive in-your-face indie/metal band fronted by the inimitable Skin; whose rise to stadium rocksters surprised many pundits but was well deserved. After touring extensively worldwide with a huge variation of bands from U2 to Therapy?, the 'amalgam of heavy metal and black feminist rage' disbanded, with Skin leading a solo career until Skunk Anansie reformed in 2009. Since regrouping after an eight-year hiatus, the band have gone from strength to strength. Their 2010 album, Wonderlustre, saw the band combine their trademark raw rock riffs, deep funk, frenetic drumwork and lush vocals with more confidence and maturity than ever before. They continued to build their sound with 2017's Anarchytecture, and in 2019 they celebrated 25 years in the business with the career-spanning live album 25Live@25.
