Garlic was an alternative lo-fi band founded initially as a trio in Britain in 1999. Lead singer and founder Mike Wyzgowski began writing with a keyboardist and steel guitar player, but wanted a fuller sound. After placing ads in various music magazines to fill the slots of singer and guitarist, most of the auditions were terrible. Wyzgowski, who had worked with Tricky and Paul Oakenfold, decided to become lead vocalist as a result.

Links to Peel[]
In March 2000, Garlic performed its first show in London. Constantly touring throughout the country resulted in a buzz among journalists, including BBC Radio host John Peel. After hearing Garlic, Peel invited the band on his show to perform a session for his radio programme in 2001. He also nominated their album, 'The Murky World Of Seats', as one of his albums of the months for August 2001 (Peel's Record Box) and October 2001 (Peel's Record Box).
