It's episode 156 and this week we're joined by Adi Vines from SwerveDriver!

We dive into the story behind Raise, the early days of the band, the Oxford scene, Creation Records, touring alongside some of the biggest names of the '90s and Adi's remarkable career behind the scenes as a guitar tech for some of rock's biggest artists. We also get an exclusive heads up on the upcoming release of the original Raise demos 35 years after the album's release. 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!
