one of our favourite bands out there, Preston-based indie rockers The Empire Police have returned with their brand new single “Northern Bones“! we’ve caught these guys live a bunch of times and they never fail to astound us with their massive tunes, incredible stage presence and energy – we loved their last few releases, some proper bangers under their belt already.
opening up in the strongest way, with ferocity all across the board; a massive guitar riff, huge drums and a driving bassline all behind Jordao’s commanding vocal – right from the get-go it’s got that infectious energy that we’ve come to expect from The Empire Police’s music. the pre-chorus takes things to a calmer point momentarily, with production perfectly poised for the track, and as it builds to the chorus it goes between so many grooves and creates such a sense of balance between the tension and the explosivity of the tune.
the chorus is a huge singalong, with a hook of “my Northern Bones can’t cope” it’s sure to be belted right back at them at gigs and the chaos that is behind it gives it such a sense of aggression and rage that were present in their previous release, “Tell England We Don’t Know“. the lyricism is spot on too, with a severe political edge and a real reflection of their views on society, with the repetitive “We beg, we lie, we steal, we cheat; Regret, repent, reprieve; Repeat, we grieve, we bleed that bittersweet” really showing off the state of life in the present. A real indication of their songwriting ability here, it’s a sombre yet realistic outlook of self-reflection and need to change, put across so eloquently. there’s so much emotion put across this entire song, through the lyricism, and the ferocity of the instrumentation, all gelling together with the production work to really create a socio-political anthem of a generation.
we’re 100% confident that The Empire Police are destined for great things, and this here is living proof of that – another incredible tune under their belt. make sure that you catch them live when they’re playing; you can also stream their music on Spotify and other streaming sites, or check out the full music video on YouTube at https://youtu.be/jUaw9DqartI.

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from one of our favourites Hayden J Barlow “INAMORATA“! 
we’ve been massive fans of Hayden’s music for a while now, his album last year was absolutely sensational and this continues yet another strong output of singles – his unique style and drive to create something that truly stands out is inspirational. 
this new tune starts off calm and collected, exposing his feelings through his lyricism but then opens up massively into the chorus, with a gorgeous sub-bass under the track, holding together the staggered rhythm section and synth lines that give a real sense of energy under his vocal, which sounds super clear and shows off his ability super well. the production is on point for this one too, keeping the track interesting and fresh all the way through – we’re huge fans of this one.
you can find it over on his Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/54QKgqIuwIximWz6A6ZQG2 – give the full thing a listen, it sounds boss!
