Marmozets confirm biggest headline tour

Marmozets have announced their biggest-ever headline tour – they’ll play nine dates across the UK in February.

The band have also released a free download of their track Broken Reflection. The previously unreleased song was recorded during sessions for debut album The Weird And Wonderful Marmozets. It’s available at no charge until December 21.

Frontwoman Becca Macintyre recently told Metal Hammer: “We were always that weird band who didn’t really fit in anywhere. Because we didn’t listen to other bands we had no real template or reference points for our music when we started.

“I think that worked to our advantage – we weren’t copying anyone. It was only when Sam Macintyre and Jack Bottomley discovered really technical mathcore bands that we started to pursue a certain direction.”

Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday (December 12) via LiveNation.co.uk. Support comes from Steak Number Eight and Thought Forms.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
