#148 / 90s Guitar Bands - Vent 414

Thirty years ago, Vent 414 arrived with one incredible album and then disappeared almost as quickly as they came. Formed from the ashes of The Wonder Stuff and featuring Miles Hunt, Morgan Nicholls and Pete Howard, they left behind a record that became a cult favourite for fans of 90s alternative rock.

Now, three decades later, they're back!

In episode 148 Miles and Morgan join us to talk about how an unexpected studio session turned into a brand new Vent 414 album, what it was like reconnecting after 30 years, working with legendary producer Steve Albini on the original record, and why touring has become harder than ever in 2026.

We also dive into the stories behind some of the standout tracks from the new album, including the deeply moving "Lucinda", and find out whether this long-awaited reunion is just the beginning of Vent 414's second chapter.

This is Miles Hunt and Morgan Nicholls of Vent 414, 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!
