Aug 21, 2017Marmozets are an incredibly unique and different band to emerge out of Bingley, West Yorkshire. Their debut album is nothing shy of to show off their extravagant, loud. and powerful sound. Tracks such as; Is It Horrible?, Cry, Vibetech, Why Do You Hate Me?, and Weird and Wonderful are just some of the best off of the many this album has to offer.

Sep 7, 2015Discovered this band by chance really.
After listening to another band via BBC iPlayer, they caught my eye as I was scrolling through. Glad I found them!!
I now cannot stop listening to their album on my iPod! The whole album is great, but my particular favourites are; Born Young and Free, Why Do You Hate Me?, Captivate You, Love You Good, and Move, Shake, Hide. -
Jan 8, 2015This album has some creative riffs, but it lacks a purpose other than to be loud and jarring. The lyrics are typical adolescent material, but I do admire the lead singer's conviction. Overall, it's a promising album for a young band, but they don't have the maturity to be on the same plane with the likes of Paramore or Arctic Monkeys.

Kerrang!Oct 10, 2014At its best, The Weird And Wonderful is as fine an articulation of the thrills, spills and general confusion of being young and different in the UK as you're likely to hear. [13 Sep 2014, p.52]

Q MagazineOct 10, 2014This is a very impressive, ambitious debut. [Oct 2014, p.113]

Oct 10, 2014Best of all, though, is the dynamism of the music: although songs flit around from riff to riff, as if Marmozets were bursting to fill each song with ideas, they are never too full, never just exercises in technique.
