Torr: Embrace @ Gypsy Ballroom I read on the Embrace msg board that Austin the night before got the same setlist, except "My Weakness Is None of Your Business" instead of "Keeping", which in Dallas was dedicated to drummer Mike who always wants to play it. Embrace were fantastic, I didn't make the trek to Dallas but I saw them at Stubb's the night before. Its the one song that made me actually like embrace in the first place, back in 1997 when they seemed like just another generic britpngop indie great white hope, that song really touched me and realised they might actually be quite good. www.torr.org /blog/2005/04/embrace-gypsy-ballroom.html   (453 words)

Embrace: The Good Will Out: Pitchfork Review Ian McKaye has never spoken a word to us about the British band Embrace. However, Embrace lacks the ethereal, floating atmosphere of the Verve.

Music Lost and found Embrace first emerged on the British scene at the tail end of the Britpop movement, which had made a virtue out of donning mod clothes and aping old Kinks and Small Faces records. Last month the band returned to New York, playing their first-ever show on US soil, and they’ve followed it up with the American tour they thought they were embarking on seven years ago. They were an up-and-coming Yorkshire band with a stately, sincere rock sound that earned favorable comparisons with the Verve and a single, "All You Good Good People," that had nestled in the upper reaches of the British charts. www.providencephoenix.com /music/other_stories/documents/04820301.asp   (1357 words)

A few months later, the band pressed up their own EP and a friend of Keeling's suggested he should listen again. www.guardian.co.uk /arts/features/story/0,11710,1489294,00.html   (2052 words)

The band spent the next two years writing songs for a fourth album. www.mtv.com /bands/az/embrace_uk_/bio.jhtml   (526 words)

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on The Good Will Out - Embrace (UK) at Epinions.com Embrace wouldn’t have ever happened in my collection had it not been for my dear sister who is always willing to tell me about a band I may not have heard of.

http://www.mongrelband.co.uk/band.html The band now commit a previously unreached level of time to the band: new songs 'Death Embrace', 'Epinephrine' and the forthcoming 'Come in Peace; Leave in Pieces' have been the fruits of a determined labour in both the attic and the practice studios. With a new lyrical direction, greater craftsmanship in writing and band settled in its shape, Möngrel took to the stage once more and delivered a brutal double header of gigs at the Bongo club- fast, professional and unique, Mongrel were visibly comfortable with Porterfield at the helm, and the rest took care of itself. Quickly he set about changing the direction of the band; with infectious riffs and a direct, driving style, he has shaped the way Möngrel are to be heard and seen on stage today. www.mongrelband.co.uk /band.html   (868 words)

Daily Vault - October 1, 2001 It marked Alice Cooper's embrace of Detroit style garage rock with a dark gothic undercurrent after two rather experimental albums, and catapulted the band into the mainstream spotlight upon its release in 1971 (quick side note: the album was finally certified platinum in July 2001, after 30 years on store shelves!). While the band already had an outrageous reputation from their completely unhinged (the infamous controversial chicken incident had already occurred in Toronto, Canada, in 1969), they did not achieve commercial and artisitic acclaim until Love It To Death. Under his guidance, the band completely scrapped the bizarre psychedelic leanings they had before and adopted a much leaner, more straight forward rock writing style. www.dailyvault.com /2001_10_03-rf.html   (507 words)

British Sea Power - Salty Water - Press - Interview with Noble I was in a band called Blind at the age of 15, we were a very good band for our age - far better than The Music. He tells us that "If the world doesn't embrace this album then this world is sick." This album is too good to go unnoticed. The words go: "Red hair she had and golden skin/Her sulky lips were shaped for sin/Her sturdy legs were flannel-slacked/The strongest legs in Pontefract." You wouldn't get that from that strange ape-like boy from the band The Music. www.saltywater.co.uk /press/index.php?id=73   (1336 words)
