Biography

The two sets of siblings formed the band while at school and have playing live since 2011, garnering widespread acclaim for their chaotic live shows despite an average age of just 18.[1] They have shared stages with the likes of Young Guns, Funeral For a Friend, Gallows, Hyro Da Hero, The Used and Four Year Strong and have appeared at Download Festival, Reading and Leeds, Slam Dunk Festival, 2000 Trees and Y Not Festival.[1][2]

Marmozets embarked on their first headline UK tour in September 2013.[3]

They released their first EP, Passive Aggressive in 2011 and followed that with Vexed in 2012.[4]

Gallows' record label Venn Records released Marmozets' first single Good Days in 2012.[5] In 2013 the band self-released their second single, Born Young and Free, before the band signed to Roadrunner Records, who put out Move Shake Hide.[4] Both singles received high praise from BBC Radio 1 DJs Zane Lowe, Daniel P Carter and Huw Stephens.[6]

The band was nominated for Best British Newcomer at the 2013 Kerrang! Awards and were voted Best New UK Band by Big Cheese magazine.[7][8]
