A Glasgow alt-rock band have received the Disruptor Award winners at the 2024 Specsavers Scottish Music Awards.

Twin Atlantic along with other winners were announced just over a week before the sold-out ceremony at Barrowland Ballroom.

The band's recognition comes after the release of their seventh studio album Meltdown, and on the brink of their November UK tour.

Sam McTrusty said: "It’s truly an honour to be recognised by Nordoff and Robbins for their Scottish Music Awards.

"For our band to be called a disruptor within the industry feels great.

"We’ve always tried to push ourselves creatively, touring and now even how we release our music.

"So of course, it’s very humbling to have people from our homeland make some noise about it and the longer we are a band the more we just keep being drawn towards disruption of the rules.

"Hopefully can be disrupting for many years to come.”
