"Palma Violets have said that they are amazed at winning NME&amp;#039;s track of the year with their single &amp;#039;Best of Friends&amp;#039;. The band&amp;#039;s bassist Chili Jesson spoke to the music magazine after the song topped its list of the best songs of 2012.  He said: &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s amazing, that&amp;#039;s f***king cool. It&amp;#039;s such a rough, raw song.  &amp;quot;We wrote it one day and recorded it the next, so it was all pretty quick. That song is at its freshest point. Every note we&amp;#039;re hitting, like, no-one really knows what they&amp;#039;re playing. It&amp;#039;s tongue-in-cheek.  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re making s**t up as we go along and I think that&amp;#039;s maybe why people like it.&amp;quot;  Jesson revealed: &amp;quot;We didn&amp;#039;t even want it to be the first single because it was so under rehearsed, but [record label] Rough Trade liked the fact anything could go wrong at any point.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s been great playing it live. People know all the words, which is amazing.&amp;quot;  However, the bassist claimed that the track is not &amp;quot;a worthy winner&amp;quot; of the accolade, saying: &amp;quot;There are probably hundreds of better songs, but we&amp;#039;re over the moon about it.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;I hope you guys aren&amp;#039;t lying. Is this a prank phone call?&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Palma Violets live at Brixton Jamm - review The full list of the best tracks and albums of the year can be found in this week&amp;#039;s  NME magazine, which is on sale now.
