The Manic Street Preachers are a Welsh rock band, and often associated with the Britpop scene. They were one of the biggest in Britain for a period in the late 1990s, known for their early wild exploits; the mysterious disappearance and probable suicide of Richey James Edwards (Richey James, as he preferred to be known); and for a progression of strong iconoclastic albums and energetic gigs. Politically they are staunch socialists, a stance inflected by their working class upbringing (they grew up during the Miners' strike of the '80s) and evidenced by their often highly politicised lyrics and their actions (they once dedicated an award to Arthur Scargill, leader of the NUM and later the Socialist Labour Party).
