Formed in London in 1994, Skunk Anansie are known for their powerful fusion of hard rock, punk, and funk influences. Fronted by the charismatic and dynamic Skin, whose distinctive voice and commanding stage presence have become the band’s signature, Skunk Anansie broke through with explosive hits like “Weak,” “Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good)”, and “Charity.” Their music often tackles political and social issues, addressing themes of race, gender, and power with raw emotion and unapologetic energy. The band’s diverse sound—ranging from aggressive riffs to soulful ballads—helped define the alternative rock landscape of the 1990s. After a hiatus in the early 2000s, Skunk Anansie reunited in 2009, continuing to tour and release new material that reaffirms their reputation as one of the most electrifying and thought-provoking bands in British rock, highlighted by the release of their recent top 10 album, the critically and commercially acclaimed “The Painful Truth”.Garbage are an American alternative rock band formed in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1993 consisting of Scottish lead vocalist Shirley Manson and American musicians Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, and Butch Vig.

The band continued to evolve with albums such as Version 2.0 and Beautiful Garbage, exploring themes of identity, technology, and emotional complexity.
