Inaccurate description of band’s nationality

Garbage are an American-British band but article states that the band are American. Finisv (talk) 14:16, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Given that we get their formation-location right after,and the nationalities of each member right after that that, I'd be inclined to just delete "American" from the lede rather than add that hyphenation. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 02:57, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
