Gallows' record label Venn Records released Marmozets' first single "Good Days in 2012.[7] In 2013 the band self-released their second single, "Born Young and Free", before the band signed to Roadrunner Records, who put out "Move Shake Hide".[6] Both singles received high praise from BBC Radio 1 DJs Zane Lowe, Daniel P Carter and Huw Stephens. The band released the single "Why Do You Hate Me?" on 17 March 2014.[8]
The band was nominated for Best British Newcomer at the 2013 Kerrang!
