“Since they were highlighted as ones to watch out for by many respected publications in 2011, Marmozets have since then built themselves a pretty awesome following whilst recording their new EP. Shortly they will be heading out on tour with Hyro Da Hero, but this tour will just be the start of a fantastic year for these upcomers!” So, what were your personal highlights from 2011, and why? Personal highlights were definitely getting the opportunity to play Hevy festival. Such a great but weird feeling; when you’re thinking about buying tickets to go to a festival to go see your favourite bands... then get told you’re playing! Pretty surreal for us. Also, writing new material, getting played on Daniel P Carter's Rock Show on Radio 1, Recording a live session in the Maida Vale studios for Radio 1 also and getting declared as 1 of 10 top unsigned bands in country by Kerrang! Magazine. Seems almost like some sort of odd dream really.
How happy are you with the response Passive Aggressive is getting so far from fans and critics? Completely over the moon with it. To get the reaction and the reviews we've been getting is unreal. We did not expect anything like that at all.
Why did you want to release your EP Passive Aggressive for free, and how well do you feel this has worked for the band so far? It only seemed fair to release it for free and try to create a bit of a buzz.
How are you adjusting to seeing your band appear in pretty much every alternative music publication out there? I mean this must be pretty cool or surreal maybe? The words cool and surreal sum it up nicely. It's hard to get your head around really!
