The Empire Police return to The Ferret in their hometown of Preston, for their first local show since the release of the Strange New Places EP last autumn.
Noise from the heart of Lancashire. The Empire Police are a four-piece musical powerhouse hailing from Preston.
Since forming in 2015, they have carved their mark within their local scene and beyond, with instantly captivating music and energetic live shows, earning them support slots with the likes of The Sherlocks, Blinders and RATS, and sold out headline shows across the north-west.
With support from:
Dulakes -
Aggressive, melancholic, and always loud, Dulakes diverse track list aims to defy categorisation as it moves from one feeling to the next. Across a steady stream of releases from the beginning of 2025, Dulakes have honed their distinct sound into a lyrically introspective, rhythmically tight, and thumpingly loud style of alternative rock music.
Stormkerb - Emerging from Preston’s underground scene, Stormkerb deliver a raw mix of post-hardcore, post-punk and post-rock. Built on loud guitars, shifting dynamics and a DIY ethos, their live shows hit hard and linger long after the noise fades.
