manic street preachers (aka 'the manics' or 'msp') are a rock band from Wales, UK. For a quick introduction to the band and their music, see their wikipedia article or their official website.

MANICS.NL is a site devoted to explaining and annotating persons, quotes, phrases and other direct or indirect references in Manic Street Preachers lyrics. If this is your first visit to the site, you might want to consider reading the about-page, the faq and the disclaimer.

As you have probably noticed, manics.nl has not been updated for a long time. This is mostly due to real-life-obligations of the creators. After some consideration and a call for suggestions on our Facebook-page, we have decided to give visitors the chance to become an editor, and write their own reference-articles. If you are interested in contributing to manics.nl, please send your draft for an article (preferably about a JFPL-reference) to mail@manics.nl. We will try to reply asap.
