Just The Crust 28/07/25: The Empire Police – Crawling Distance 👊

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Crawling Distance” from The Empire Police! 🤝

a familiar face on the North West scene, they’ve been making waves for a good few years now, having put out a bunch of incredible tunes, and performing all across the region and selling out shows on the regular in their Preston hometown 🎶

this new track sounds fantastic, blending their earlier indie-rock roots with more metal-infused, heavier elements that really paves the way for their anthemic, driving brand of alternative rock – with expert lyricism, they’re able to paint a picture with their lyrics, matched with instrumentation that compliments the wordcraft fantastically, the track ebbs and flows and truly feels like a journey with the band. it’s a brilliant listen! 👊

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/7vmO1PCZTXJt1oVHl0FKIo – well worth checking out along with their full discography 🎧
