Bio:
Manic Street Preachers are a Welsh rock band, formed in 1986 in Blackwood, Caerphilly and consisting of James Dean Bradfield (lead vocals, lead guitar), Nicky Wire (bass guitar, lyrics) and Sean Moore (drums, percussion, soundscapes). They are often colloquially known as the Manics. Following the release of their first single, "Suicide Alley", the band was joined by Richey Edwards as co-lyricist and rhythm guitarist. The band's early albums were in a punk vein, eventually broadening to a greater alternative rock sound, whilst retaining a leftist politicisation.Their early combination of androgynous glam imagery and lyrics about "culture, alienation, boredom and despair" has gained them a loyal following and cult status.With their debut album, Generation Terrorists, the Manic Street Preachers proclaimed it would be the "greatest rock album ever", as well as hoping to sell "sixteen million copies" around the world, after which they would split up.Despite the album's failure to meet this level of success, the band carried on with their career. The group became a trio when Richey Edwards disappeared in February 1995.The band went on to gain critical and commercial success in spite of his absence.Throughout their career, the Manics have headlined several festivals including Glastonbury, T in the Park, V Festival and Reading, won eleven NME Awards, eight Q Awards and four BRIT Awards.They have been nominated for the Mercury Prize in 1996 and 1999, and have had one nomination for the MTV Europe Music Awards. The group has reached number 1 in the UK charts three times: in 1998, with the album This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours and the single "If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next", and again in 2000 with the single "The Masses Against the Classes".To date, they have sold more than ten million albums worldwide.
Album:
Resistance Is Futile is the forthcoming thirteenth album by Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers.The album was announced on 17 November 2017 and is scheduled to be released on 13 April 2018.Early in 2017 Kieran Evans said that he was not working on the new album with the band, and that he heard two new songs that sounded "very, very melodious"; the album was expected to drop later in 2017, but then they had to move to a new studio and it got pushed back. Band member Nicky Wire said that this was a very long gap for the group, and if the new songs were not good enough they would not come out.There was much speculation on whether they were releasing a new album at all, with Wire saying that the last two albums might have drained the band in terms of creativity, with the band saying that they were "in a funny place".Despite this, in November 2017 the band announced the new album, their first to be recorded at their new studio near Newport. Described as "widescreen melancholia", and an attempt to recall the sound of Generation Terrorists and Everything Must Go, the band said that the album came together after some "old school hard work", focusing deep on every song so they could be "as best as possible".The themes behind the album are memory and loss, forgotten history, confused reality and art as a hiding place and inspiration, with the band releasing further information saying that "It's obsessively melodic – in many ways referencing both the naive energy of 'Generation Terrorists' and the orchestral sweep of 'Everything Must Go'. After delay and difficulties getting started, the record has come together really quickly over the last few months through a surge of creativity and some old school hard work."Also, it has been pointed out by Wire that the album is a kind of a mix where many songs can reflect past albums:"It was a bit more pick and mix. We wanted to write twelve songs that... not necessarily twelve singles but twelve songs that gave us a bit of vitality." Many songs as "Hold Me Like a Heaven" trace back to "Everything Must Go" and "Broken Algorithms" that "has a bit of 'Sleepflower' in it as well."Bradfield tackled the subject of whether this could be or not the final album by the band, saying that: "People secretly like to know when things are going to end and for something to have a finite time span, but I instinctively rail against that. I never had the urge to buy a flash car. I never had a drug problem. Instead, I constantly bought guitars. I like to think we push it further than people expect us to. We want to outdo ourselves and people’s expectations." Also about supporting Guns N' Roses in the summer Bradfield shared that "I know Duff McKagan and I’ve played onstage with him before,” Bradfield explains. “We keep in touch. He is such a lovely, cool dude. I don’t use the word dude much, but for someone like Duff McKagan, it is entirely appropriate. When we were asked to do these dates, we were thrilled to bits."Resistance Is Futile is expected to be released on 13 April 2018 in standard CD format, deluxe CD, cassette and vinyl.The band also announced a UK tour to promote the album. During April and May 2018 the band will play in Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Llandudno, Leeds, London and Cardiff.On 8 January 2018, the official tracklisting was announced and that album could be pre-ordered digitally via iTunes, HMV, Google Play and Amazon in standard and deluxe formats from "12.01am local time, Tuesday 9th January".Resistance Is Futile has received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 75 based on 13 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
