Lismore (band)

Lismore was an Australian indie pop band, active primarily in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band was formed in Melbourne, Victoria and gained a following on the independent music scene.

Lismore's music was characterized by catchy melodies, jangling guitars, and introspective lyrics, often dealing with themes of love, loss, and suburban life. Their sound was influenced by bands such as The Smiths, The Go-Betweens, and other Australian indie groups of the era.

The band released several EPs and singles, and one full-length album titled "Dust" (1991) on the independent label Half a Cow Records. "Dust" received critical acclaim for its songwriting and production, and is considered a notable album within the Australian indie music landscape of the early 1990s.

While never achieving mainstream commercial success, Lismore was a well-regarded band within the Australian indie scene and toured extensively throughout the country. They are remembered for their contributions to the vibrant and diverse music scene of Melbourne during that period.

Following the release of "Dust," the band members pursued other musical projects and Lismore eventually disbanded. Despite their relatively short career, their music continues to be appreciated by fans of Australian indie pop.
