Show Notes
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!
