Yes, but they were a live act during the LAST year, as the award requires. They were an active band over the period that these awards pertain to. You will perish in flames!!
King Liar and the Brutes did release 'American Fag-Hits Volume 1' this year, choice track from which is probably the anthemic Knife's. So I vote Knife's. Also : Mart McFly: Psycho a Go-Go King & Queen of Style: The Needles
