Manic Street Preachers – Faster

A signature song by the Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers, marked by its fierce guitar riffs and cool, detached vocals.

Released in June 1994, it reached No.

16 on the UK Singles Chart.

Issued as the lead single from the album The Holy Bible, the track features a heavy sound and profound message that reflect the stress and isolation experienced by the band members.

Its political lyrics and themes exploring the struggles of youth captivate rock fans and don’t let go.

It’s also a great choice for a second party or a performance segment—its energetic tempo can instantly fire up the crowd.

Manic Street Preachers – Repeat (UK) (Remastered – Official Video)

A track from their first album, released alongside their bold claim: “If our debut hits No.

1 in the U.

S.

, we’ll break up.” The album itself was a sprawling double-disc—ambitious for a new act—and it had several sagging moments, but this song alone stood out in a strangely distinctive way.

For the record, the band didn’t break up and is still active today.

Manic Street Preachers I’m Not Working

When the Manics say they “can’t work,” it actually means the opposite—they can work.

In fact, they’ve remained at the forefront for decades after releasing this song.

The melody is generous and moving, so I’d love to hear it playing at the end of a shift in a factory.
