A critical analysis of the history, cultural impact, and music of Manic Street Preachers.  Join Adam, Steve, and Lucas, all at different levels of Manics fandom, as they explore the career of Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers. They're going album by album, track by track, Wire quote by scandalous Wire quote to find out if context can change your experience of music, how people become obsessed with artists, and whether or not they love Manic Street Preachers (spoiler alert: Adam already does!) Expect in-depth analysis, tedious tangents, controversial Manics opinions, and an exhaustive attitude to context. Also expect to find out more about the Manics (and the hosts) than anyone could ever want to know!Launching on January 27th 2020, and releasing every fortnight!You can now wear your fandom on your (literal) sleeve!Do You Love Us? now has a RedBubble shop with lots of cool and stupid designs.
