Manic Street Preachers on 'Postcards From A Young Man'

added 22 September 2010 at 11.18

Ten albums into their career, Nicky Wire takes John Kennedy through the Manics' latest album...

Manic Street Preachers' tenth studio album 'Postcards From A Young Man' is a collection of classically epic tracks from the band. Recorded in their own studio for the first time, Nicky Wire tells John Kennedy all about the songs, the story behind the title, working with their hero Ian McCulloch and how they've mellowed with age... but not much.
