Marmozetes Who are they? The Marmozetes are a quintet from Bradford. They first formed in 2007 and were often compared to Pop punk band Paramore. It’s hard in today’s society to not be compared to Hayley Williams if a band have a female singer. The Marmozetes have been highly praised by Rocksound Magazine and Kerrang magazine plus more. The truth is they are so far away from pop-punk. Marmozetes prove to have their own sound by pushing the boundaries with guitar sounds and the occasional screamo. They sure do show attitude and front woman Becca Mckintire is no pop- punk princess. Make sure you keep your eyes peeled this band are looking promising.

Another track called Bite The Hand was released and the single reached number 5 on the independent releases chat and number 5 on the dance chart. Modestep were becoming noticed more and more, by July 3^rd the new single ‘sunlight’ passed 1 million viewers within four days. They made the Radio 1 A-list and were at number 16 in the UK charts.
