Summary
In episode 126 we chat to Kevin Martin , the unmistakable voice behind Candlebox, one of the most enduring bands to emerge from the post-grunge era. From massive hits like Far Behind to navigating fame, backlash, and longevity in an unforgiving industry, Kevin’s career is a masterclass in resilience and authenticity. In this episode, we talk about the realities of the grunge explosion, what it was really like coming up alongside Seattle legends, the misconceptions that followed Candlebox for decades, and how Kevin has continued to evolve as an artist and songwriter. This is an honest conversation about music, identity, survival, and what it means to stay true to yourself in a world that’s constantly trying to label you! Stupid & Contagious STORE https://stupid-contagious-podcast.myshopify.com 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!
