Lisbon have announced the release of their new single ‘Shark’.

Produced by Dan Austin (Doves, Pixies), the single is due for release on May 27th via Think Tank? Records.

Speaking of the new single release, frontman Matthew Varty said: “‘Shark’ depicts the struggle young bands have nowadays to make a name for themselves in the music industry. The daily financial issues of being in an emerging band versus never wanting to give up on your dream, whilst at the same time avoiding the many ‘sharks’ that you cross paths with along the way.

“The song is a way of expressing our frustrations, whilst portraying a newfound darkness. We want to follow the percussive vibe from our previous singles but a lot of our new songs have a more raw live sound.”

The single release comes ahead of the band’s forthcoming third UK headline tour in May:
