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.


As it's Christmas we are spoiling you with this bonus episode with Luke on his fav music reads and recommendations!


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

Stupid & Contagious - #40 / 90s Guitar Bands - FMB (The Next Big Thing)
play

05/16/24 • 100 min

Before 'Big Brother', before 'Love Island' there was the first fly on the wall, reality tv show! It was called 'The Next Big Thing', remember it? We do! It followed the fortunes of an upcoming uk indie band 'FMB' & it's a fantastic time capsule of what being in a struggling band in the 90s was like. Landlines, buying vans, ringing venues, it's all there to see on the doc (link below) so we got Roger and Milo on from FMB to talk about the doc and the band and what happened to the band after the cameras stopped rolling!
