Embrace

The Huddersfield natives, Danny and Richard McNamara, formed the band in 1990, later recruiting Mike Heaton and Steven Firth. Their debut album, The Good Will Out (1998), garnered critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase. Despite creative differences with labels, Embrace persisted, releasing successful albums like Out of Nothing (2004) and This New Day (2006). After a hiatus for side projects, they reunited in 2011, culminating in the release of their eponymous album in 2014. Celebrating their 20th anniversary, Love Is a Basic Need (2018) revisited their musical roots.
