Marmozets

As you see Becca Macintyre take to the stage you would be forgiven for assuming that Marmozets may be the next Paramore or No Doubt, but what comes from Miss Macintyre's mouth will blow you away. She is small in stature but has a voice, and more notably a scream, that would put many male metal vocalists to shame. The perfect balance of beauty and terror that could have you running for the hills is the best way to describe it. However Marmozets are more than just a talented vocalist - with guitarists Sam Macintyre, guitar and bass brothers Jack and Will Bottomley and drummer Josh Macintyre. Together they make one all-might, rowdy, Yorkshire noise-mob. I first saw them in Brighton at The Great Escape Festival in 2013, they weren't even the headliners and yet their raw energy was so powerful that they would have stolen the show had they been given a little longer. As headliners they are just as mad and energetic onstage as you would want them to be. They move around the stage like a band possessed and really know how to get the crowd moving. You'll be hard pushed to find a woman as young as Macintyre who can command a mosh pit with such ferocity and unleash a scream to match it. The Bingley quintet are one of the UK's fastest rising bands and they haven't even released their debut album yet. Scheduled for release in September of this year 'The Weird and Wonderful Marmozets' will showcase exactly that; how weird and wonderful Marmozets really are. With songs like 'Captivate You' and ''Move Shake, Hide' showing how diverse the band really are. Whilst it would be brilliant to see Marmozets grow and expand to bigger venues, because for all their hard work it would be richly deserved, a part of me wishes they would stay this size. In the small venues they currently play they seem totally in their element and really know how to work the crowd in a way that most bands fail to recreate in venues of any size. Whilst they do need some tightening up musically there is no denying that Marmozets are definitely a band on the rise and long may that rise continue.
