Manic Street Preachers s'est formé en 1986 à Blackwood, au Pays de Galles. Composé de James Dean Bradfield (chant principal, guitare principale), Nicky Wire (chœurs, guitare basse), Richey Edwards (guitare rythmique) et Sean Moore (batterie), le groupe a sorti trois albums entre 1992 et 1994 et s'est fait remarquer pour sa colère intense, son son post-punk et ses paroles politiques, ainsi que pour ses performances controversées. Les tâches d'écriture sont partagées entre les membres du groupe, Edwards et Wire écrivant la plupart des paroles et Bradfield et Moore composant la musique. Edwards a disparu en février 1995 après la sortie de l'album phare du groupe, The Holy Bible, mais le groupe a continué en tant que trio, Wire assumant seul les fonctions de parolier. Au cours de cette période, le groupe a connu des succès avec des chansons telles que "The Masses Against The Classes", "Your Love Alone Is Not Enough" et "If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next". Leurs albums Everything Must Go et This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours ont également connu un succès important dans les hit-parades. Richey Edwards a été déclaré légalement mort en 2008, treize ans après sa disparition. Le groupe a transformé un dossier des écrits de Richey en chansons et a publié Journal For Plague Lovers, qui a été le meilleur album des Manics accueilli par la critique depuis The Holy Bible. Depuis lors, ils ont continué à faire de la musique et sont toujours actifs aujourd'hui.
