Universal Music cleaned up at this year's NME Shockwave Awards.

Congratulations to Kate Nash (Best Solo Artist), Klaxons (Best Live Band) and The Killers (Best International Band) who all took home awards.

Kate Nash's debut album, Made of Bricks, made it to the top of the UK charts following its August 2007 release across the pond (Made of Bricks was released in the US in January of this year). Kate was skyrocketed to the spotlight by her single "Foundations".
