Stupid & Contagious

This week on Stupid & Contagious, we’re joined by Amelia and Rob from Heavenly, a band whose sweet melodies have always had something sharper underneath!

We talk about their beginnings in Talulah Gosh, finding a home at Sarah Records, and how being there for the early days of riot grrrl changed their approach to songwriting. There are stories about Huggy Bear’s infamous appearance on The Word, watching Britpop take over, and doing things on their own terms.

Enjoy!

Welcome to The Stupid And Contagious podcast, a podcast focused on bringing you interviews with the bands that defined a generation!

That generation grew up in the 90s with the Grebo bands (Senseless Things, PWEI, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Mega City Four, The Wonderstuff and many more) on the UK side of the pond and quickly joined by the grunge bands (Nirvana, Mudhoney, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and many more) on the US side of the pond.

We are not limiting ourselves to these genres though, we will chart the guitar bands from all genres throughout the decade that was the 1990s.

If you are into 1990s guitar music or just a music lover in general then this is the podcast for you!

This week on Stupid & Contagious, we've got a rare interview with Som Wardner, frontman of British alternative rock favourites My Vitriol.

Twenty-five years after their cult classic debut Finelines, Som joins us to discuss the band's rise, why they disappeared from the spotlight, Noel Gallagher, and the return of Finelines.

It's a rare chance to hear from one of British alternative rock's most elusive frontmen & it's a great conversation about where the music industry is now!

Here's Som from My Vitriol - Enjoy!

In episode 164 we’re joined by Pete Voss of Campag Velocet to revisit the wild days of ’90s British indie. Pete talks about the band being hailed by the music press as “the best new band in Britain,” the hype and pressure that followed, their refusal to play the Britpop game, and the punk, hip-hop and acid house influences behind their unique sound.

We also get into A Clockwork Orange, life after Campag Velocet, new music, Voss belts and whether the band could ever reunite? Enjoy!
