Embrace were a short-lived hardcore punk band from Washington, D.C., which lasted from the summer of 1985 to the spring of 1986.[6] Along with Rites of Spring, and Beefeater, it was one of the mainstay acts of the 1985 Revolution Summer movement,[7] and was one of the first bands to be dubbed in the press as emotional hardcore,[6][8] though the members had rejected the term since its creation.[8][9][10] The band included lead vocalist Ian MacKaye of the defunct hardcore punk act Minor Threat and three former members of his brother Alec's band, the Faith: guitarist Michael Hampton, drummer Ivor Hanson, and bassist Chris Bald.[6][9] Hampton and Hanson had also previously played together in S.O.A.[11] The band played their first show on July 28, 1985 at Food for Thought, a former restaurant and music venue located on Washington, D.C.'s Dupont Circle;[12][13][14] their ninth and final show was held at the 9:30 Club in March 1986.[15][16][17] The only recording released by the quartet was their posthumous 1987 self-titled album, Embrace,[6] being influenced by the Faith EP Subject to Change.[9][18]

Past members

Following the breakup of Embrace,[16] MacKaye and ex-Minor Threat drummer, Jeff Nelson, tried turning their recent one-off musical experiment in England, dubbed "Egg Hunt", into an actual band,[19] but the project never made it past the rehearsal stage.[20][21][22] Hampton, for his part, teamed up with former members of Rites of Spring to form the short-lived post-hardcore outfit One Last Wish, while Bald moved on to the band Ignition. MacKaye eventually directed his energy and creativity toward the forming of Fugazi in 1987,[20][22][23] and Ivor Hanson would pair up with Hampton again in 1988 for Manifesto.[24]

During the band's formative years, some fans started referring to them and fellow innovators Rites of Spring as emocore (emotive hardcore) bands, a term MacKaye publicly disagreed with.[8][10]

[ru] Embrace (группа, США)

Embrace (с англ. — «Объятие») — короткосрочная хардкор-панк-группа из Вашингтона, округ Колумбия, которая просуществовала с лета 1985 по весну 1986 года[6]. Наряду с Rites of Spring и Beefeater, являются одной из опорных групп движения «революционное лето» 1985 года[7], и была одним из первых групп, чей музыкальный жанр был назван в прессе как «эмоциональный хардкор»[6][8] (хотя участники отвергали этот термин с момента его создания[8][9][10]). В состав группы входили ведущий вокалист Иэн Маккей из несуществующей на тот момент хардкор-панк-группы Minor Threat и три бывших участника группы его брата Алека The Faith: гитарист Майкл Хэмптон, барабанщик Айвор Хэнсон и басист Крис Болд[6][9]. Хэмптон и Хэнсон также ранее играли вместе в S.O.A.[11]. Группа отыграла своё первое шоу 28 июля 1985 года в «Food for Thought» — бывшем ресторане и музыкальной площадке, расположенной на Дюпон-Сёркл в Вашингтоне, округ Колумбия[12][13][14]; их девятое и последнее шоу состоялось в клубе «9:30» в марте 1986-го[15][16][17]. Единственной записью, выпущенной квартетом, был их одноимённый альбом 1987 года[6], на который повлиял мини-альбом группы The Faith Subject to Change[9][18].
