The record
Title: Embrace – Embrace
Year/Genre: 1987, Post-Hardcore
Condition: New
Cultural Facts:
-
Embrace formed in Washington, D.C. in 1985 around Ian MacKaye after the breakup of Minor Threat, drawing on veterans of the early D.C. hardcore scene.
-
The band’s brief existence coincided with D.C.’s “Revolution Summer,” a shift toward more emotionally direct, politically conscious punk that critics later linked to early emo.
-
Released on Dischord Records after the band had already split, the album became a touchstone for 1990s emo and post-hardcore bands in the U.S., Europe, and Japan.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
