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!

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!
