Marmozets Invade Van Warped
Marmozets Join Vans Warped Tour July 4-August 3
WHO: UK rockers Marmozets (Becca MacIntyre – Vocals, Sam MacIntyre – Vocals/Guitar, Jack Bottomley – Guitar, Will Bottomley – Bass, Josh MacIntyre – Drums)
WHAT: Marmozets will be performing on Vans Warped Tour this summer
WHEN: July 4-August 3, 2014
One of Alternative Press’ “Bands You Need to Know in 2014”, Marmozets are not what you would call shy. This explosive, dynamic family quintet from Bingley in Yorkshire are tearing up the rock music rule book and rewriting it from the ground up. Inspired by the technical ferocity of bands like The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Mars Volta and The Chariot, Marmozets blend this with their own chaotic live show and epic melodies to create a truly inimitable blend of math rock, hardcore and post-punk. A head on collision of two families, the Bottomley brothers have been joined by the MacIntyre siblings since the tender age of 14, making for an ultra-tight and devastatingly technical unit.
The band has played Download, Slam Dunk, Leeds & Reading, Hevy, 2000 Trees, Y Not, Boardmasters and many other festivals and has toured with the likes of Hyro Da Hero, The Used and Four Year Strong as well as on the Vans Off The Wall Tour alongside Young Guns, We Are The In Crowd and Your Demise.
For their most recent EP, Marmozets returned to the studio for a second time with James Kenosha (Pulled Apart By Horses, The James Cleaver Quintet) at the production helm and produced an astonishingly accomplished record.
Marmozets’ latest single “Captivate You” recently premiered on BBC’s Radio 1.
