Becca Macintyre on coming back from the brink, ‘Knowing What You Know Now’ and having Robbie Williams as a fan
Marmozets have spoken about how they nearly gave up while making their second album – and how the Liam Gallagher is wrong about ‘rock n’ roll being dead’. Read our interview with singer Becca Macintyre below.
The Yorkshire recently announced the follow-up to their 2014 debut ‘The Weird and Wonderful Marmozets’ with the Gil Norton (Foo Fighters, Pixies) produced ‘Knowing What You Know Now’. However, the death of singer Becca Macintyre’s grandmother and debilitating injuries truly her – and she often considered calling it a day.
“I had some knee operations, then felt like I had to start again, Macintyre told NME. “I had to learn how to walk again and everything. I had this ultimate fear in my heart, mind and soul – I let fear do me over. I thought I was done. But fear never wins. I had a voice in my head going ‘get up girl, you’re going to be fucking fine’.”
She continued: “I had all of the confidence blown out of me. People don’t always tell you that you’re doing great. It can be very stressful at the time, I’m a very sensitive person and all I needed to hear was ‘girl, you’re awesome, this is what you’re supposed to be doing’. I just needed some attention! It was just a shitty patch and I’m out the other side of the storm now. It’s a beautiful place to be.”

What was it that pulled you…
