Manic Street Preachers - tour, LP, single "(It's Not War) Just the End of Love"

NME has got some early insights into the Manic Street Preachers' upcoming release, ‘Postcards From A Young Man’, which comes out on September 20, and news of its UK tour as well.

NME writes:
"The group's 10th studio album, 'Postcards From A Young Man', is out in September. A UK tour starts in Glasgow on September 29. Frontman James Dean Bradfield said that the album would be an unashamedly pop-orientated affair following 2009's bleak 'Journal For Plague Lovers'. "We're going for big radio hits on this one," he told NME. "It isn't a follow-up to 'Journal For Plague Lovers'. It's one last shot at mass communication."

The first single is called "(It's Not War) Just The End Of Love" and it's big, hooky, anthemic and glorious, just like all the best bit of the Mancs have been over the years. I hope this song gets huge.
