British rock 'n' roll band THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT have won an award at this year's Classic Rock awards show, which took place last night in London.

The band were honoured with the "Best New Band" award at the prestigious event, following a hugely successful year that saw their self-titled debut album enter the UK charts at number 12 on its release.

THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT guitarist PAUL SAYER comments:

"We're thrilled to have won the Best New Band at last night's Classic Rock Awards. It's especially meaningful to us that it's voted for by the readers and our fans. It's an amazing part of what's been an incredible year for us so far, and we've got some great shows to play over the next couple of weeks to finish off. Thank you!"
