Los Manic Street Preachers tienen historia sobre sus espaldas. La agrupación está junta hace muchísimo tiempo y, desde Gales, viene rompiéndola y presentando algunos discos buenísimos en los que están muchos de los hits más interesantes del britpop y rock alternativo. En esta oportunidad la agrupación presentó el video para la canción "This Is The Day" que, si les suena, es porque se trata de una versión de la canción de The The que fue lanzada allá por el año 1983, tres años antes que Manic Street [...]
For the second time in ten years, Welsh rock band (and person fave) Manic Street Preachers will be releasing a best of/singles compilation. Obviously, this time around, the compilation will also consist of tracks from the four albums they have released since their last compilation Forever Delayed . National Treasures will be released on October 31st aka Halloween and will contain a new track - This is the Day , a cover of a song by the band The The. Given The Manic's penchant for playing covers, this should come as no surprise. The video for [...]

Lokakuun lopussa julkaistava National Treasures – The Complete Singles kokoaa Manic Street Preachersin pitkän uran kaikki singlet samoihin kansiin. Tuorein ja järjestyksessään 38. single on The The -cover This Is The Day. Alkuperäinen kappale näki päivän valon vuonna 1983 ilmestyneellä, The The:n toisella albumilla Soul Mining . Manic Street Preachers on viime vuosien tyylilleen uskollisena korvannut The The:n kevyen ja folkahtavan tunnelman radioystävällisellä kiillolla ja isohkoilla kitaroilla. Tulkintojen eroihin voi tutustua oheisten videoiden avulla. Manic Street Preachers on ilmoittanut siirtyvänsä singlen ja kokoelman myötä telakalle pitemmäksi aikaa. [...]

Durante mas de 20 años los galeses Manic Street Preachers estuvieron publicando álbumes sin parar, hasta alcanzar la cifra de 37 singles editados hasta el día de la fecha. Ahora llegó el momento de reunirlos en un nuevo compilado que se llamará National Treasures – The Complete Singles . National Treasures es el segundo recopilatorio de la banda, luego del lanzamiento de Forever Delayed (2002). Desde entonces los Manics publicaron 4 discos más, aunque [...]

Manic Street Preachers have been putting out albums solidly for some time now - over twenty years in fact. And in that time they've released 37 singles, so it's come time to collect them all together. They already released a Greatest Hits called Forever Delayed in 2002 (which was a gateway to their discography for this very writer), but since they have released four albums since then they're putting out another compilation called National Treasures . (Although 20092s Journal For Plague Lovers isn't represented since no singles were released from it.) [...]
The band will also release a new track and best of...

This is a collection of demo recordings from the Manic Street Preachers , recorded between 1985 and 1990 (it is more likely that the earliest material was actually recorded in 1986). A reasonable amount of this was probably recorded before Richey Edwards became a member of the band. An early version of their debut single (plus B side is included). Of the rest some made it on to B sides of single releases, some would eventually morph into tracks for the first album and some remained just as demos. From Wikipedia regarding the early days of the [...]

El más reciente trabajo de estudio de la banda de Gales Manic Street Preachers , Postcards From A Young Man , llegó a las bateas en septiembre del año pasado. A casi un año de su edición, se confirmó el lanzamiento de un álbum que recopilará sus grandes éxitos. En una entrevista con NME , Nicky Wire , bajista de la agrupación, afirmó que tras la llegada de National Treasures – The Complete Singles , [...]

(Photo from Photoderek ) Toronto - Eight years ago today, I packed up my bags, bought a one way ticket, flew across the country and moved to what I think is the greatest city in Canada - Toronto. It was a pretty easy decision to move from Edmonton, I had grown increasing bored with the city. I had originally wanted to move to go to other universities but my inability to go to high school classes consistently and pay attention to University submission deadlines put a disruption to that plan. However, after I graduated, I was able [...]

Facebook For the longest time, conventional wisdom about The Radio Dept. said the Swedish three-piece hated to play live, preferring to record, throw out and re-record albums of gorgeously forlorn synth-pop in the safety and comfort of their studio. As such, I undertook a pilgrimage of sorts to New York two Summers ago to see them play what I assumed would be an incredibly rare show. Even when their long-awaited third album Clinging To A Scheme broke them open to a much larger audience (relative [...]
A small introduction: Sziget is an annual 7 days music festival that is one of the biggest in Europe with about 400.000 visitors. It takes place on a island in the beautiful city of Budapest in the second week of August. Sziget draws all sorts of people together through their desire to create, or enjoy [...]
Sunday was by far the weakest lineup of the weekend but still had a lot to offer. Over at the Heineken Green Spheres tent a sizable crowd was gathering for 902s indie rock stalwarts Ocean Colour Scene. They have always had a big following in this country and the crowd enjoyed it, clapping and singing [...]
Crystal Castles – Heineken Green Spheres Tent Alice Glass is an absolute lunatic. Tell you something you don't know, right? Glass comes complete with her own security man to help with front row stability, which Alice needs while she writhes around atop those on the barrier, or bows and shimmies her way along to track after track. The Heineken tent is packed to the rafters for Crystal Castles' set and the pulsing lighting, indecipherable vocals and throbbing bass lines are nothing if not bounce-along euphoric. Scenes down the front as the two-piece and their live drummer blast out [...]
A special Oxegen edition of our weekly feature, whereby our writers and photogarphers share their favourite tracks of the past seven days. Tame Impala - 'Alter Ego' (Chosen by Daryl Keating) It's easy to label Tame Impala as mere copycats who are latching on to the past glories of the late '60s. Yet, in doing so you'd be shamefully understating one of the few contemporary psychedelic rock bands that are genuinely talented. Perhaps people can't get over how much their lead singer, Kevin Parker, sounds like John Lennon. Or maybe there's just no room [...]

This weekend (8th - 10th of July) Oxegen rolls into Punchestown for the festivals annual appearance in Kildare. Normally what it lacks in class it makes up with quality acts but this year I'm not so sure. Apart from other issues, I feel this is one of the most uninspiring Oxegen lineups for sometime and [...]
