Embrace was a short-lived post-hardcore band from Washington, D.C., often cited as pioneering the Emotionally charged hardcore punk (Emo) movement, 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.
For hardcore icon MacKaye, Embrace represented a transitional project between the short and fast sound of his youth and the later melodic tones of his current work (after his often maligned Egg Hunt project with Dischord Records cofounder Jeff Nelson, and the Ministry crossover Pailhead). MacKaye eventually teamed up with former members of Rites of Spring to form the long-running punk outfit Fugazi, while Hampton earlier played with Fugazis Guy Picciotto, as well as Embraces co-producer Edward Janney, in One Last Wish. Bald moved on to the band Ignition, and drummer Ivor Hanson paired up with Hampton again in 1992 for Manifesto.

so sorry about that I must have told you the wrong one.
That's funny because I tried that one a while ago too, the one I gave you, and it made me all crazy because they sucked real bad, and they didn't pay too good either they offered like contests and stuff instead of money.
But anyways, the working site is
R E A D Y 1 2 . C O M
it's the one I am making $900 a week with putting in about 23 hours a week, sometimes up to like 30 hours if I'm motivated.
After you get your membership make sure you register with with the companies on page one in the members section because they are the ones that pay pay top dollars, I got $50 for one that took me 45 minutes today. You'll see what I'm talking about when you get in there.
Megan started taking them too and she's making $700 a week, it's making me so mad because I'm the one that showed her which one to sign up with now she's making more than me.
Alright well me and Timmy are getting ready to leave, just give me a call or I'll meet you on here and let me know if you have any problems with your membership. catcha later

thx for the add. I think my friends and I had to use bus fare to buy the vinyl when it 1st came out. Great tribute. Amazing phoenix to come out of the ashes of DC Punk.
Thanks for the add. The Embrace record (yes, I still have the vinyl) is one of my all time favorite albums! It's amazing! Having been a Minor Theat fan already, when I heard Embrace I was hooked from the first track. I always kinda wished that they had put out a second album. Are there any other odds and ends from them out there? Live bootlegs, previously unreleased tracks that might have escaped the Dischord archives?
Thanks for putting up this profile and all the videos!
