Explicit content warning
04/18/24 • 104 min
Welcome to The Stupid And Contagious podcast, a podcast focused on bringing you interviews with the bands that defined a generation!
In episode 36 we chat to the legend that is John Robb! Not only was he in 2 awesome bands, The Membranes and Goldblade but also he is one of the best music journalists and broadcasters of our generation! Credited with inventing the tag Britpop and also the first person to interview Nirvana this interview is one not to miss!
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!

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.

Episode 35 and we chat to friend of the podcast and author of 'Three and a half minutes of fame' Alex Boucher. We chat to him about his experiences of being in signed bands in the 90s, the bands he toured with and the 90s scene in general. It's an unfiltered look at the 90s music scene and a who's who of the players from the scene, some great great stories!
