Manic Street Preachers

Manic Street Preachers is a British (Welsh) rock band founded in 1986 under the name Betty Blue in a small mining town of Blackwood in South Wales. Manic Street Preachers started as a punk band, but subsequently moved closer in sound to alternative rock. The band was always distinguished by the politicization of song lyrics and statements of the musicians.
