The Manic Street Preachers are a legendary British rock band that was formed in 1986 in Blackwood, Wales. The original members were James Dean Bradfield (vocals, guitar), Nicky Wire (bass, lyrics), Sean Moore (drums), and Richey Edwards (guitar, lyrics). The Manic Street Preachers became known for their political and social lyrics, as well as for their dynamic sound which combines punk, glam rock, and alternative rock. The band achieved significant success in the 1990s and is known for songs such as "Motown Junk," "A Design for Life," and "If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next."
