Watch: Manic Street Preachers New Video For "Anthem for a Lost Cause"

Welsh three-piece Manic Street Preachers have shared the video for "Anthem for a Lost Cause", the second single taken from their recently released eleventh studio album 'Rewind The Film'.

"Anthem for a Lost Cause" will be part of the band's forthcoming 4-track EP, released on November 25 via Columbia Records. The EP will feature two new songs: 'Death Of A Digital Cause' and 'See It Like Sutherland' and a live version of 'She Is Suffering' recorded at the band's National Treasures one-off London live show at the O2 in 2011.

The clip was directed by Kieran Evans and stars Welsh actress Tori Lyons, who had previously appeared opposite Craig Roberts (Submarine, Skins) in the clip for "Show Me The Wonder".

"The video for 'Anthem for a Lost Cause' is heroic, emotional and defiant; a timely reminder of the power of support women gave their communities. And it looks beautiful too." Said bassist and lyricist Nicky Wire.

Manic Street Preachers Won't Be Releasing Anymore Singles


Manic Street Preachers have revealed that they won't be releasing anymore singles.

In an recent interview bassist Nicky Wire said: "I think for a certain incarnation of the band it is a sort of end. I dunno if we'll be releasing singles again. The way everything in the music industry has changed, for an old guitar band like us to be bothering the charts seems somehow quaint."

He added: "It's definitely not the end of the band, we're still in love with each other and the notion of one final re-invention. We're trying to think of a final third way.''

The band will play London's O2 Arena on December 17 to celebrate the release of their complete singles collection 'National Treasures'.
