MANIC STREET PREACHERS return this summer with a brand new album and a sold out 23 date UK tour. Send Away the Tigers in the bands eighth studio release and sees them return to an ambitious, edgier and energetic rock sound The Clash and The Sex Pistols are our biggest inspiration we've gone back to source, explains bass player and lyricist Nick Wire. The album is preceded with a single Your Love Alone Is Not Enough a duet with Nina Persson of The Cardigans, of whom the band have been long time fans. The song was recorded in New York earlier this year and is described by Wire as Keith Moon drums, Pete Townsend power chords, sonically similar to Hole's Celebrity Skin `Everything Must Go' era euphoric rock lyrically a two-way conversation in my head about love, religion, democracy and Richey. Nina recently visited the UK to appear in the video for the track. Send Away the Tigers is released July 24th. It was recorded during the early part of 2006 with long time producer Dave Eringa at Stir Studios in Cardiff and Grouse Lodge in Ireland. Mixing took place at the end of the year in California with Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, My Chemical Romance). Following the release of solo albums last year from both James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire the band embarked on writing for this new album and found themselves listening back to their earlier albums Everything Must Go and Generation Terrorists, Nicky Wire describes the sessions as, reconnecting with all the things that made us so excited back then.
