Now set to release their infectious single ‘Addict’ the group has highlighted how far they have come. With melodic hooks aplenty, powerful vocals and polished beats, the track is a quintessential club banger. Celebrating their first official release, the track is a step up for the group and marks them as ones to watch. The party anthem is complete with an accompanying video from Giles Palmer Films, which features models from Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model. 

‘Addict’ is set for release on July 29th. Watch the video here: http://youtu.be/myryq_8jnQw

The UK indie icons played the song 'Do I Wanna Know?' last night (May 22) in Ventura, California.

It was their first show since appearing at the London 2012 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony in July last year.

Fans seemed to lap up 'Do I Wanna Know?' on YouTube, with one user commenting: "OH MY GOODNESS. THIS IS AMAZING. and completely new sounding, omg love it."

As previously reported, Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders suggested that the band could release a new album this year.

Their last studio effort came in the shape of 2011's 'Suck It And See', which gave them their fourth consecutive UK No.1 album.

Chat show icon Oprah Winfrey, who has interviewed the likes of Rihanna and the late Whitney Houston's family recently, was put at No.13. Meanwhile, United Nations Ambassador Angelina Jolie also made the cut at No.37 following her recent editorial piece that explained how she underwent a double mastectomy to slash her risk of getting breast cancer.

With lead members of So Solid Crew reunited and performing on the tour, support comes from a very special UK all-star underbill to be announced in the near future that looks set to make this an unmissable event for any urban music fan.

Hailed as the Kings and Queen of UK garage/hip hop and widely credited with paving the way as pioneers for today’s biggest hip hop crossover and breakthrough stars, So Solid’s first album ‘They Don't Know’ was released in October 2001, going platinum in its first week of sales and making So Solid the only platinum selling urban act in the UK to this date. Combined, So Solid Crew have sold over 1 million units.

The collective from South London, whose hits include the now legendary #1 single ‘21 Seconds’, won ‘Best British Video’ 2002 at the BRIT Awards and went on to demolish every award show they were nominated in, including the MOBOS, Smash Hits and the PRS Awards.

Coming from humble beginnings performing two hour long freestyle sessions on pirate radio stations Supreme and Delight FM, expect a slick, no nonsense performance from these UK veterans. Returning to the live circuit once more the ‘Crew breach the ‘Broken Silence’ to give So Solid fans what they’ve been craving for the last decade.

The band, who recently announced details of a special one-off gig that will see them perform all of their hit singles, explained to the NME that having huge chart success - especially if the band is guitar based - is "probably at an end":

"It's something we feel is probably over, the idea of having massive hit singles- unless something dramatically changes in life, it's probably at an end. The single is no more, as such, from what we grew up with anyway, let's face it, it's a different dimension."

"There are no guitar bands in the charts really, if you look at the top 40. You've got to come to terms with that at some point."

Tickets for the Manics' exclusive 38-song performance at London's O2 Arena are now available and you can watch their video for 'Postcards From A Young Man' here:

The band will perform at the huge venue on December 17 in what promises to be a very special gig with a set list comprised of their single releases.

Tweeting this morning (August 30) about the show, the band wrote:

"Remember remember the 17th of December - glitter-tickertape and 38 songs xx"

An official statement issued to XFM also read, "A never to be repeated one-off visual experience encompassing 21 years of MSP with 38 songs – from 1990’s Motown Junk to (but not in order!) 2011’s The Is The Day. There will be an interval in order to top up on refreshments and like all the best parties, you’ll talk about it for years to come and your friends will wish they’d been there." 

Tickets for this Manic Street Preachers musical extravaganza go on sale at 9.30am on Friday, September 2 and you can watch them perform 'Postcards From A Young Man' here:
