On Thursday, 19th May 2011, WinkBall video reporters went down to the Civic Hall in Wolverhampton to speak to the fans of the Manic Street Preachers both before and after their sold out gig there. The Manic Street Preachers are an alternative rock band from Blackwood, Wales, formed in 1986. They are James Dean Bradfield (vocals, guitars), Nicky Wire (bass, occasional vocals) and Sean Moore (drums, backing vocals, occasional trumpet). The band are part of the Cardiff music scene, and was at its most prominent during the 1990s. They are colloquially known as 'The Manics' or 'Manics'. The Manics released their debut album, Generation Terrorists in 1992. Their combination of androgynous glam punk imagery, outspoken invective and songs about "culture, alienation, boredom and despair" soon gained them a loyal following and cult status. Manic Street Preachers released their tenth studio album, Postcards from a Young Man, on 20 September 2010. It was preceded by the single "(It's Not War) Just the End of Love".
