Lisbon - Vice
1.Who
are these whippersnappers? Lisbon are an alternative pop
band from Newcastle, England. Playing together since 2012. Lisbon have a short
player in the bank and a handful of singles. Vice (Feb’16) is a stand
alone single.
2.
What's on offer? Vice is a slinky, funky, big pop number sure to shake arses and with bright lashes of noodling lead guitar. 3.
Who do Lisbon sound like? The 1975 and White. 4.
What do the bandits in the press have to say about Vice? “Upbeat
indie pop, a proper bouncy gem” – It’s All Indie. “Staggeringly
catchy” – Wonky Sensitive. “Follows
the same anthemic path” – We Are Going Solo.
5. Which bands have
put the sparkle into Lisbon’s pop? Lisbon have big upped bands like Foals, Little Comets,
Lionel Ritchie, Michael Jackson, Snake Hips, FKJ, Bon Iver, Bon Iver, Tame
Impala, Bombay Bicycle Club and Wolf Alice. 6. Why should I give
Vice a taste? The lead guitar kicks off Vice and the melody has more hook and addiction than a Thai fishing trawler. Vice is addictive indie pop with funky spangles. 7. Do Lisbon have any more bangers? Vice is the one that crushes it. 8.
More words? Lisbon said that, “‘Vice’ is about being young, drunk, in
love, troubled, and crazy all at the same time. Lyrically I wanted the song to
sound like a diary entry, like some sort of confession. When you’re under
pressure and you start juggling all these vices, it makes a recipe for an
incredibly fun disaster.” Vice
is
produced by Dan Austin who has done nine to five for Doves, The Pixies and The
Enemy. Lisbon have been on the road in 2015 fluffing for Little
Comets and Eliza and the Bear.
“You
got me drinking ‘till I’m sober”

Elephant have three magnum opuses. Airliner (2015) was a stand alone
single andIndie Shuffle called it, “tight, clean, feel-good indie rock.” Pop Rock Record were sure it should be Cheers Elephant’s “break through single.” Airliner is an indie anthem.
