James Dean Bradfield's Interview

Last year, James Dean Bradfield, Manic Street Preachers frontman, opened up about Resistance Is Futile.

"Nicky Wire, [bassist and lyricist] has given me some amazing lyrics that absolutely sum up the political situation that we've been talking about, and I've fallen back in love with the middle 8. I'm writing a lot of middle 8s. I would like to kick against the oblique, delineated, opaque groove that everybody is into. I'd like to rock again," said Bradfield.
