Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire has compared the Welsh trio's forthcoming album, Postcards From A Young Man to Aerosmith's 1989 classic Pump.
"It's going to be an amazing album," says Nicky. "[2007's] Send Away The Tigers was [Aerosmith's 1987] Permanent Vacation, this next one is our Pump."
Postcards From A Young Man will be released on September 20 via Columbia. The band will tour the UK from September 29. Click here for dates and ticket info.
