This is why the now defunct band was chosen for the privilege, according to NME Editor Conor McNicholas:“When we were in the planning stages of bringing the NME Awards to America, Jane&http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/b5media/TheProductionSide/~3/267819449/#8217;s Addiction were always in our thoughts,&http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/b5media/TheProductionSide/~3/267819449/#8221; and he also added, &http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/b5media/TheProductionSide/~3/267819449/#8221;They are exactly the sort of once-in-a-lifetime, inspirational, aspirational, no-holds-barred, genre-busting, risk-taking, pioneering group which sums up what the NME Awards is all about.
