Roy Boulter (born 2 July 1964, Liverpool) was the English drummer in the Liverpool-based pop group The Farm.
 He joined the band in 1997, enjoying success with the number one album, "Spartacus", and hits such as "Groovy Train" and "All Together Now".
 The Farm re-formed (despite never formally splitting up), occasionally touring and playing festivals.
 In 2011 the band provided the nucleus of The Justice Tonight Band, joined by Mick Jones (The Clash), Pete Wylie (The Mighty Wah!)
 and Andrew Davitt (Johnny Boy, Paul Weller, Manic Street Preachers, B.A.D.).
 The band was formed to raise awareness about the injustice surrounding the Hillsborough disaster - Boulter and Farm lead-singer Peter Hooton were both present at the tragedy.
 The Justice Tonight Band toured the UK and Europe (supporting the Stone Roses) spreading the message about Hillsborough and the twenty-three years of injustice endured by the families and victims of the tragedy.
Richard Willis Hawley (born 17 January 1967) is an English guitarist, singer-songwriter and producer.
 After his first band Treebound Story (formed while he was still at school) broke up, Hawley found success as a member of Britpop band Longpigs in the 1990s.
 After that group broke up in 2000, he later joined the band Pulp, led by his friend Jarvis Cocker, for a short time.
 As a solo musician, Hawley has released seven studio albums.
 He has been nominated for a Mercury prize twice and once for a Brit Award.
 He has collaborated with Lisa Marie Presley, Arctic Monkeys, Manic Street Preachers and Paul Weller.
At the Drive-In is an American punk rock band from El Paso, Texas, formed in 1994.
 The band currently consists of Cedric Bixler (vocals), Omar Rodríguez (guitar, vocals), Paul Hinojos (bass), Tony Hajjar (drums) and Keeley Davis (guitar, vocals).
 After several early line-up changes, the band solidified into a five-piece, consisting of Bixler, Rodríguez, Jim Ward, Hinojos and Hajjar.
 At the Drive-In released three studio albums and five EPs before breaking up in 2001.
 Their third and final album before their split, 2000's "Relationship of Command", received a number of accolades and is cited as a landmark of the post-hardcore genre.
 Following the breakup, Bixler-Zavala and Rodríguez-López formed The Mars Volta while Ward, Hinojos, and Hajjar formed Sparta.
 At the Drive-In reunited in January 2012 and played the 2012 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, as well as the 2012 Lollapalooza Festival.
 In 2016, the band reunited for a second time, with guitarist and occasional lead vocalist Jim Ward no longer participating.
 He was replaced by Sparta's Keeley Davis.
 The band released their fourth studio album, "in•ter a•li•a", in 2017.
"Take the Skinheads Bowling" is the signature song of Santa Cruz, California alternative rock band Camper Van Beethoven, written by David Lowery and released on their 1985 album "Telephone Free Landslide Victory".
 The song (as covered by the band Teenage Fanclub) was notably featured in the Michael Moore documentary "Bowling for Columbine", and received substantial airplay on KROQ, and BBC Radio 2, as well as The Dr. Demento Show.
 The song was also recorded by Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers as a B-side to their 1996 single "Australia" and subsequently included on their B-side compilation album "Lipstick Traces (A Secret History of Manic Street Preachers)".
Manic Street Preachers are an alternative rock band from Blackwood, Wales, formed in 1986.
 Their discography consists of 12 studio albums, three compilation albums, four video albums, 52 music videos, five extended plays, 41 singles, 185 B-sides, as well as other appearances.
Journal for Plague Lovers is the ninth studio album by Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers, released in May 2009 by record label Columbia.
 Recorded between October 2008 and February 2009 and produced by Steve Albini and Dave Eringa, it features exclusively posthumous lyrics by Richey Edwards, who disappeared on 1 February 1995 and was presumed deceased in 2008.
 It is the only Manic Street Preachers album in which the lyrics for every song were written solely by Edwards.
Manic Street Preachers are a Welsh alternative rock band, formed in 1986 in Blackwood, Caerphilly and consisting of James Dean Bradfield (lead vocals, lead guitar), Nicky Wire (bass guitar, lyrics) and Sean Moore (drums, percussion).
 They are often colloquially known as the Manics.
 Following the release of their first single, "Suicide Alley", the band was joined by Richey Edwards as co-lyricist and rhythm guitarist.
 The band's early albums were in a punk vein, eventually broadening to a greater alternative rock sound, whilst retaining a leftist politicisation.
 Their early combination of androgynous glam imagery and lyrics about "culture, alienation, boredom and despair" has gained them a loyal following and cult status.
Leaving the 20th Century is a recording of the Manic Millennium concert by the Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers, released 2000.
 The concert, which also celebrated the 10th anniversary of the band, was performed on the New Year's Eve night 1999-2000 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, in front of more than 57,000 fans.
 The event became international as the final song of the event was broadcast live all over the world through satellites.
"Everybody Dance" is a song written and produced by American musicians Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers for their band Chic.
 The disco song, which features Norma Jean Wright on lead vocals and Luther Vandross on background vocals, was released as the second single from the band's self-titled debut studio album "Chic" (1977) in 1978.
 According to Nile Rodgers, it was the first song specifically written for Chic, and, due to its historical status and popularity, is usually played as the opening song of the band's live set.
 It was later heavily sampled by British pop group Steps on their UK number 1 "Stomp" and by the Manic Street Preachers on their single "(It's Not War) Just the End of Love".
National Treasures – The Complete Singles is a compilation album by the Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers, released on 31 October 2011.
 It is the band's third compilation album, after "Forever Delayed: Manic Street Preachers, The Greatest Hits" (2002), and the B-sides/rarities collection "Lipstick Traces (A Secret History of Manic Street Preachers)" (2003).
 The compilation features one new recording, a cover of The The's "This is the Day", which was issued as a single on 18 September 2011.
 The compilation reached number 10 on the UK Album Chart in November 2011.
