Going under the mysterious shroud of silence, everyone and their dog assumed that The Marmozets were officially over. Now it seems that the band have not in fact broken up, after some clarification from member Josh Macintyre.
Things have gone a bit quiet on the Marmozets front since they wrapped their UK tour in December last year – so quiet that it’s lead a number of fans to assume that they’d broken up. Just to clarify, the band never announced that they had broken up, we all just collectively assumed as a society. But still, the almost year-long silence certainly left fans more than concerned.
But it turns out that there is ultimately no cause for concern, as Marmozets drummer Josh Macintyre took to Twitter to end the rumour cycle for once and for all.
He wrote on his Twitter page:
“Marmozets are not split. We are just living our own lives for a while, we have been doing this since we were 13 years old. We never got a proper childhood or “normal life”/adult lifestyle till recent and I’m personally loving it. But I also didn’t sign up for the usual too xxx”

In a recent interview with The Guardian, The Marmozets opened up about a variety of issues facing the band, and touched upon #metoo in the rock scene.
“We’ve heard a lot of rumours, yeah,” they say, exchanging dark looks. “We’re just happy that people are so respectful [of Becca] at our shows,” says Jack. “I remember there was this gig in London where Becca went right into the crowd. And Sam said: ‘Leave her be, don’t take the piss’, and everyone just circled around her, protectively. She just went bouncing into the crowd, doing her thing, and there was no grabbing or groping. There was so much respect in the room.”
“Someone would have another thing coming if they tried anything like that with me,” Becca says.
