Embrace are an English guitar rock band from Brighouse and Bradford in West Yorkshire. To date they have released five studio albums, one singles album and one b-sides compilation.

The band consist of brothers singer Danny McNamara and guitarist Richard McNamara, bassist Steve Firth, keyboardist Mickey Dale, and drummer Mike Heaton. The group's most recent studio album, This New Day, was released on March 27, 2006.

After building a following through their EP releases, their debut album The Good Will Out went to number 1 in the British charts on 14th June 1998.

However, the sales for their subsequent releases, Drawn from Memory (2000) and If You've Never Been (2001) were disappointing by comparison and the band were dropped by Hut Records in 2002, amid confusion as Virgin Records (Hut's parent company) were taken over by EMI.

Around this time frontman Danny McNamara became tabloid fodder due to a rumoured relationship with 90's pop diva Gina G.

They were signed by Andy McDonald to his Independiente Records label and produced a successful comeback album Out of Nothing, which reached number 1 in the UK in 2004.
