They said in a statement: "2014 has been such an incredible year for us, and being nominated for eight NME Awards is a better Christmas present than getting Castle Greyskull in '86! Thanks very much!"
The group are closely followed by both Jamie T and Royal Blood, who scored seven nominations each.
Jamie T said: "I would like to say a thank you to all the fans for coming down to the shows and to the NME for the seven nominations. Thank you, see ya in the pit."
Royal Blood added: "This caps an incredible year for us, and we can't thank NME readers enough for these nominations. Incredible!"
