We cornered Bloc Party guitarist Russell Lissack and singer Kele Okereke this is what they said:

Kele: Thanks very much DiS. It means a lot to be voted band of the year by you, because it wasn't so long ago that we were searching the Musicians Board for drummers... It's been a fantastic year for Bloc Party and DiS has been there every step of the way - so to everyone that voted for us, I sincerely hope to see you you again in the new year.
Russell: Wow, that's amazing, thank you. Well, I'd like to give everyone who voted for us a big hug, and say thanks for your amazing support this year, and wish you all a merry xmas. xx
