Verdict: Four stars.
They have put in the graft since forming in 2007 and it's paid off for Twin Atlantic who played their biggest headlining show to date in their hometown's SSE Hydro tonight.
"It's great to be home," screamed frontman Sam McTrusty as he belted out Make Beast Of Myself before launching into the anthem Hold On.
The lads - including Barry McKenna, Ross McNae and Craig Kneale - beamed at the grandeur of their surroundings as they rocked through their tracks Apocalyptic Renegade, Fall into the Party and Eight Days.
With that unique pop rock sound, McTrusty and his Scottish-toned vocals created an atmosphere expected at The Barrowlands but rarely seen at the SSE Hydro - perhaps this is testament to just how good they are live.
The group's popularity has no doubt grown dramatically in recent years but when compared to other Scottish Indie heavyweights they are still on the cusp of making that mainstream standout hit - and judging by their back catalogue it will be epic when it arrives.
Oceans was a highlight as McTrusty urged the crowd to get their phones out which lit up the venue, creating the perfect mood for the beautiful ballad.
And for the first time in the SSE Hydro's history a cheeky McTrusty asked the standing Glasgow crowd to sit down on the floor during I Am An Animal before urging them to bounce back up just in time for the beat dropping - and the sight was simply magnificent from the upper tiers.
McTrusty admitted the band had taken the scenic route to get to where they are and boldly said if they had to play one song for one last time in the city - it would be Crash Land.
And as the band performed it, the crowd created an atmospheric sing-a-long which proved just how special the song is to them too.
McTrusty complimented, "And that's why you're the f***ing greatest city in the world."
Ending on a high with Brothers and Sisters and Heart and Soul, the boys set the crowd up nicely for T in the Park.
And they of course realised their dream by playing Scotland's biggest venue, not bad going for a group of Glasgow lads.
