THE KILLERS, ARCTIC MONKEYS AND MUSE UP FOR MULTI-NME AWARDS

Bands Each Earn Four Nominations

The Killers and The Arctic Monkeys go head to head in the Best Album category in this year's Shockwaves NME Awards. The bands are also up against Kasabian, Muse and My Chemical Romance and each of the five bands are nominated in four categories.

The four-piece Arctic Monkeys from Sheffield are up for Best Live Band, Best British Band, Best Album and Best Music DVD and are looking to hold on to the Best British Band award which they scooped last year.

US bands The Killers and My Chemical Romance are both up for the Best International Band gong along with CSS, The Strokes and We Are Scientists

Oasis get their obligatory nod in the Best British Band category along with Kasabian and Babyshambles fronted by controversial singer Pete Doherty. The singer is rumoured to be spending time with partner Kate Moss in rehab at the moment.

Virtually the only female artist in the whole list is the "never short of something to say" Lily Allen who took the charts by storm last year with songs such as the annoyingly catchy 'Smile'. Miss Allen goes up against Brit-pop elder-statesman Jarvis Cocker, Jamie T, Thom Yorke and Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.

The ceremony will be hosted on March 1st at the Hammersmith Palais in London just before the iconic music venue is pulled down. The news comes despite fans trying to get the building listed and therefore protected from demolition.
