MSP bassist Nicky Wire had the following to say about the honor: *“When our manager told us about it I just genuinely felt humbled and excited. We’ve won four BRIT Awards, Ivor Novellos, but it’s vindication. It feels like the best one because the NME is what I grew up with and for all its faults it still means a lot to me. It’s so fucking brilliant, honestly. It’s really made me feel fantastic.”*
