đź“°| "I nag Sean to write more. I'd love him to have that moment where he goes 'Right motherfuckers, this the hit you've been waiting for!" James Dean Bradfield is interviewed by @earlsjohn.bsky.social in the new issue of Classic Pop Magazine, out now. #ManicStreetPreachers

If anyone wants me, I’ll be singing the name of Wolves’ new signing Nasser Djiga to the tune of Machadaynu from Look Around You by @robertpopper.bsky.social for the rest of the day. Thanks a lot, Wolves. Tholves.
