Description
FAITH and MINOR THREAT broke up within months of each other in 1983. During 1983 and ‘84 there was a general malaise in the DC hardcore scene which saw a lot of the founding bands and scene makers move to the sidelines as shows became increasingly violent and the attitude became increasingly mainstream. In the summer of '85 there was renewed spirit, often referred to as "Revolution Summer," (ushered in by the Rites of Spring and members of a band that formed later called Fire Party). This "Revolution Summer" included a handful of bands who preferred smaller more intimate venues and focused on a more personal and introspective interpretation of punk rock. EMBRACE was part of this renewal. They were formed by ex-Minor Threat member IAN MACKAYE and three of the former members of Faith. They played shows from the summer of 1985 until the Spring of 1986. Remastered from the original tapes and pressed on red vinyl.
