    #37 / 90s Guitar Bands - Wang #8

    Welcome to The Stupid And Contagious podcast, a podcast focused on bringing you interviews with the bands that defined a generation!
    In Wang no. 8 we bring you a Q&A special. We answer your questions as best we can whilst trying not to come across as self obsessed, self indulgent w*nkers! Tell us how we do?
    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!
