our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the new single “Wise & Well” from The Empire Police 👊

a real force on the North West scene, we’re huge fans of these guys, having released a bunch of incredible tunes over the years and performed all across the UK – and we love the run of new singles they’ve been putting out recently 🤘

this new tune takes no prisoners, it’s an in-your-face tune, with driving guitars, walls of sound, huge rhythm and riffs all the way throughout. Jordao’s vocal sounds fantastic on this, really proving his ability to command the track – and with their classic no-nonsense lyricism, they’ve created not only a proper singalong tune, but one that relates to the feelings and emotions of those who may feel lost in modern society. it’s yet another incredible tune from them! 💥

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/1jo7va5Fy7fDzUkk0qjPkV – it’s well worth checking out 🎧
