Lisbon are a 5-piece pop band hailing from Manchester, England. With a penchant for dramatic pop music, the band began with one clear objective – creating high-quality, modern songs with universal appeal. After a prolific song-writing period, Lisbon are intent on imprinting their sound upon the public consciousness by embarking on a series of live performances in their home town.
This Four Track EP consists of 4 Tracks. Empires,Memory Song,Bedroom Window and the title track Vulnerable Mind.
On hearing it as a whole it is very reminiscent of Morrisey and The Smiths with Robert S Pollards vocals producing the same raw emotion that Morrisey creates in his vocals and the tracks themselves, I would say, lend heavily to The Smiths and obviously there is a respect for that.
Memory Song though has a very country feel within the music and the Lyrics. A heartfelt song with a gorgeous guitar riff accompanying it and painful words to accompany it.
Bedroom window starts off and as soon as you hear it you think of the Doobie Brothers' " Long train running". It cant be helped! And this riff continues right through the song. The song itself is probably one of the most Smiths sound-alike on the EP. Once again Robert S Pollards vocals sparking a chord with his poignant lyrics and vocals
Overall a very enjoyable EP to listen to and one that's easy on the ears. The influences are obvious but if you can try and put that aside then this will be one to get.
