There’s a new album from the Manic Street Preachers on the way – and, according to bassist Nicky Wire, it will have a real classic rock feel.
The album is called Postcards From A Young Man and is due out on September 20. Produced by Dave Eringa, it has the following track listing:
1. (It’s Not War) Just The End Of Love (the first single, to be released on September 13.

3. Some Kind Of Nothingness (featuring Ian McCulloch)
4. The Descent (Pages 1 &2)
5. Hazleton Avenue
6. Auto-Intoxication (with John Cale on piano)
7. Golden Platitudes
8. I Think I’ve Found It
9. A Billion Balconies Facing The Sun (with Duff McKagan)
10. All We Make Is Entertainment
11. The Future Has Been Here 4 Ever (with Nicky Wire on lead vocals and drummer Sean Moore on trumpet)
12. Don’t Be Evil
Wire told us: “It’s a classic rock album, with its spirit in the 70s but produced in the 90s.”
The Manics are to tour the UK from September 29.

Nicky Wire does always claim it’ll have a classic appeal or like the early days but they sure don’t release records that rockin at times. I hope it is, since Manics are best when they rock out.
