Manic Street Preachers have established themselves as one the UK's most enduring, intelligent and credible rocks groups, but that quest for greatness has been a difficult, sometimes torturous path; a path which one of their number – the gifted and troubled Richley Edwards – abandoned for destinations still unknown. Nailed To History traces the slow yet inexorable climb of the South Wales band from their 1980s glam-punk origins, critically derided as 'Generation Terrorists', to their current position as respected art-rock intellectuals - a fact underlined by 2009's award-winning ‘A Journal For Plague Lovers’. This Omnibus Enhanced edition now includes a multimedia discography, charting every album and single release the band has made through a timeline of music videos and album art. Author Martin Power also examines the life and complex personality of Edwards, whose highly politicised, morally disquieting wordplay defined much of the Manics' early appeal - his personal demons writ large across 1994's dark masterwork ‘The Holy Bible’. Edwards' evermore extreme behaviour culminated in his sad, strange disappearance in February, 1995. A story of honour and enduring friendship, of 'culture, alienation, boredom' and despair, Nailed To History examines the Manic Street Preachers’ musical output and the personalities that make them an enduring artistic and political force.

In a career that's spanned thirty-five years and generated fourteen albums, fifty-three singles (two of them UK number ones), four Brit Awards, two Ivor Novellas and inspired literally hundreds of university dissertations, quite a few PhD's and the odd specialist subject on Mastermind, Manic Street Preachers have become, in the words of their 2011 singles collection, national treasures. The Welsh trio (who, to many, will always be a quartet) have a uniquely intense impact on their fans; educating them as much as they entertain and inspire. This book collects fourteen brand new essays, one for each Manics album, from fourteen different writers from diverse backgrounds, tracing the band's impact on fans and culture and setting each of their works, from 1992's Generation Terrorists to 2018's Resistance Is Futile and beyond, into context. The essays are linked by a detailed month-by-month biography by music critic and Manics fan Marc Burrows (The Guardian, The Quietus, Drowned In Sound), who compiled and edited the book, tracing the band's development from glamorpuss upstart intellectuals to the elder statesmen of British indie rock, via an era-defining run of hits, a historic trip to Cuba, and one vanished genius. Manic Street Preachers: Album by Album includes a complete discography and is sourced from in-depth archival research, making it one of the most comprehensive and detailed works devoted to the band yet compiled.

This book explores the ways in which popular music can criticise political, social and economic structures, through the lens of alternate rock band Manic Street Preachers. Unlike most recent work on popular music, Peters concentrates largely on lyrical content to defend the provocative claim that the Welsh band pushes the critical message shaped in their lyrics to the forefront. Their music, this suggests, along with sleeve art, body-art, video-clips, clothes, interviews and performances, serves to emphasise this critical message and the primary role played by the band’s lyrics. Blending the disciplines of popular music studies, culture studies and philosophy, Peters confronts the ideas of German philosopher and social critic Theodor W. Adorno with the entire catalogue of Manic Street Preachers, from their 1988 single ‘Suicide Alley’ to their 2018 album Resistance is Futile. Although Adorno argues that popular music is unable to resist the standardising machinery of consumption culture, Peters paradoxically uses his ideas to show that Manic Street Preachers releases shape ‘critical models’ with which to formulate social and political critique. This notion of the ‘critical model’ enables Peters to argue that the catalogue of Manic Street Preachers critically addresses a wide range of themes, from totalitarianism to Holocaust representation, postmodern temporality to Europeanism, and from Nietzsche’s ideas about self-overcoming to reflections on digimodernism and post-truth politics. The book therefore persuasively shows that Manic Street Preacher lyrics constitute an intertextual network of links between diverse cultural and political phenomena, encouraging listeners to critically reflect on the structures that shape our lives.

Manic Street Preachers are a rock group, often colloquially known as The Manics, formed at Oakdale Comprehensive School, Blackwood, Caerphilly, South Wales, UK, during 1986, comprising cousins James Dean Bradfield (lead vocals, lead guitar), and Sean Moore (drums, percussion, soundscapes), with Nicky Wire (bass guitar, lyrics). Following the release of their first single, "Suicide Alley," the band was joined by Richey Edwards as co-lyricist and rhythm guitarist. The group's early albums were in a punk vein, later broadening to an alternative rock sound, whilst maintaining a leftist politicisation. Their early combination of androgynous glam imagery, with lyrics about "culture, alienation, boredom and despair" attracted a loyal following, giving them cult status.
