MANIC
STREET PREACHERS
Sweet
Venom
Martin Clarke
NEW
Revised and Updated
When the Manic Street Preachers burst onto the music scene in 1990,
they quickly became both the most loved and the most hated band
around. With their androgynous punk rantings and preposterous
all-conquering ambitions, they bewildered, fascinated and outraged
both the music press and their fans, and have continued to do so ever
since, experiencing profound personal tragedy as well as massive
commercial success. In Sweet Venom – the most up-to-date Manics biography available –
author Martin Clarke attempts to cut through the swathes of rumour and
hearsay with an incisive and factual portrait of a complex,
multi-layered and frequently self-contradictory band, one of modern
rock’s most remarkable talents.
