Artist Biography

There is more than one artist with this name:One was a short-lived Emo band from Washington DC, the other is a 5 piece band from Leeds in England.

1) Embrace was a short-lived post-hardcore band from Washington, D.C., often cited as pioneering the emotionally charged hardcore punk movement and by extension indie pop/rock, from the summer of 1985 to the spring of 1986. The group was primarily noteworthy because of its well-known members, joining Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat and The Teen Idles with guitarist Michael Hampton, drummer Ivor Hanson, and bassist Chris Bald, all former members of the pioneering band Faith. Hampton had also played in S.O.A. with Henry Garfield (later known as Henry Rollins). All four members had been involved in popular and influential bands in the nascent D.C. punk scene since the late 1970s. The only album released by the quartet was their self-titled album Embrace.
