Toronto – I think Embrace’s debut album “The Good Will Out” was one of the best album to come out during the Britpop years and it mystifies me how this album/band isn’t really mentioned with classic fondness when people are reminiscing about that era. Anyways, I was very disappointed when the second album Drawn From Memory came out and it sounded nothing like the original. Combine that with the dorky white boy rapper haircuts that the McNamara brothers adopted at the time and you knew it was just a matter of time before the band was no more….
However, 2004 rolled around and the almost forgotten band Yorkshire band came back … literally. The album was called Out of Nothing, and really, they came out of nowhere and exceeded all expectations are released an album chock full of singalong anthems. The lead single – Ashes, was especially good.

Couldn’t agree more. I think ppl were put off by the lead vocals often being xxxx at live gigs – you had to feel sorry for the guy when he couln’t hit the high notes before a mega audience at Glastonbury which could have really made them, but that 1st album and the extra tracks on the singles released at that time were class A. They seem to have disappeared again now!
