Garageland is an indie rock ensemble originating from Auckland, New Zealand, established in 1992 and affiliated with Flying Nun Records. Their sound reflects inspiration drawn from bands such as Pixies, Pavement, The Clean, and The Velvet Underground. The group earned praise in both the UK and US markets for their refined and memorable pop compositions. The band's name pays homage to the song "Garageland" by The Clash. Their 1998 standalone single "Feel Alright" featured piano contributions from former The Velvet Underground member John Cale.
In November 2007, Garageland reunited for a singular performance in Auckland and later appeared at The Others Way festival in September 2015.
