Imagine the Killers could complete an idea and not be really trite with their lyrics. Yes, it is a bit of a stretch, but if they were capable of seeing an idea through to completion, then we reckon they'd sound a lot like Lux Lisbon, a four-piece formed at Nottingham University and since relocated to the smoke.

The EP Get Some Scars is musically and lyrically intelligent and covers a broad spectrum of themes. But at a time when many are bemoaning the lack of politics in popular music, we highlight here Bullingdon Club, prescient as Parliament dissolves today ahead of the General Election.

Get Some Scars is available as free download from their bandcamp page and give them a follow on Twitter @_LuxLisbonUK

And while we're on an election theme, don't forget to register to vote. Whatever your politics, don't disenfranchise yourself. It really does only take a couple of minutes.
