“Libraries gave us power.” 30 years ago today, the Manics released ‘A Design For Life’. A song that changed everything. The first chapter after the darkest of times, and a statement of intent that still resonates three decades on. Swipe through moments from the iconic video.

On this day in 2018, the Manics released ‘Resistance Is Futile’. A record driven by melody, memory and a sense of restless momentum. Still sounding just as immediate today. Do you have a standout track?

On this day in 2001, the Manics released ‘Know Your Enemy’. Restless, contradictory, and deliberately unpredictable, the album remains one of the band’s most divisive and fascinating records. Where did you pick up your original copy?

On this day in 1992, the Manics released ‘Slash ’n’ Burn’, the opening track and fourth single from ‘Generation Terrorists’. Still as loud, sharp and unapologetic as ever. Watch the video here: youtube.com/watch?v=b8a1WE…

Released on this day in 1999, ‘You Stole The Sun From My Heart’ became the third single from ‘This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours’. Revisit the track with this live performance from the band’s landmark Millennium Stadium show in Cardiff that same year: youtu.be/lYeilBlia-8?si…
