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.

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”

Cheers Elephant are a now defunct indie pop rock band from Philadephia who fought out of Southern California and played together from 2007 to 2016. Cheers Elephant have three magnum opuses. Airliner (2015) was a stand alone single and Indie 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.
