Embrace: Matinee Album Launch Show

Embrace plug in for a full‑electric set at Jacaranda Baltic in Liverpool on 11 June 2026, celebrating the release of their new album, Avalanche. It’s a chance to catch the band up close as they open a new chapter with fresh material played loud and alive.

Formed in West Yorkshire in the early 90s around brothers Danny and Richard McNamara, Embrace grew out of the Britpop moment with a melodic, guitar‑led take on alternative rock. Early singles like All You Good Good People set the tone before albums The Good Will Out, Drawn from Memory and Out of Nothing pushed their songwriting between expansive choruses and more restrained, introspective turns. After a long pause, the group returned in the 2010s with Embrace, Love Is a Basic Need and How to Be a Person Like Other People, keeping their balance of ringing guitars, warm keys and a vocal that carries both grit and sensitivity.

For Avalanche, the quintet come back fully amplified: tight rhythms, wide‑screen guitars and open‑hearted keyboards framing Danny McNamara’s voice. A focused, straight‑to‑the‑point album launch from a band that knows how to shape melodies and dynamics without fuss.
