alrighty, so for tonight i want to post on one band who not many know i think. well, not many outside of the uk. they were prominent in the 90's brit-pop scene and are still here today. ladies and gentlemen, here's Manic Street Preachers.

the manic street preachers formed back in 1986 and hail from blackwood, wales. they arose to local fame and became known for their glammed up punk attitude and songs about "culture, alienation, boredom and despair." the original lineup consisted of lead singer/guitarist james dean bradfield, bassist nicky wire, drummer sean moore and rhythm guitarist, richey edwards. during the 90's the band made their prominent mark in music, and released their breakthrough album, The Holy Bible. shortly after this, richey edwards disappeared and has been missing ever since. he was declared deceased in 2008. this tragic event would haunt the band for the rest of their careers, but despite this unfortunate circumstance, they are still making music and touring for the sake of their art.
today you will find the album i mentioned. The Holy Bible is a force to reckon with. the songs blast by with sheer magnitude and the lyrics are of a very personal nature. tis a great record i say, and one not to be missed by ye younglings out there. grab hold of this and bask in the glory of the manic street preachers.

I hate purity
Hate goodness
I don't want virtue to exist anywhere
I want everyone corrupt
I am an architect, they call me a butcher
I am a pioneer, they call me primitive
I am purity, they call me perverted
Holding you but I only miss these things when they leave
I am idiot drug hive, the virgin, the tattered and the torn
Life is for the cold made warm and they are just lizards
Self-disgust is self-obsession honey and I do as I please
A morality obedient, only to the cleansed repented
I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer
I spat out Plath and Pinter
I am all the things that you regret
A truth that washes that learnt how to spell
The first time you see yourself naked you cry
Soft skin now acne, foul breath, so broken
He loves me truly this mute solitude I'm draining
I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing
Sleep can't hide the thoughts splitting through my mind
Shadows aren't clean, false mirrors too many people awake
If you stand up like a nail then you will be knocked down
I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else
I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer
I spat out Plath and Pinter
I am all the things that you regret
A truth that washes that learnt how to spell, learnt to spell
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
