Early Punk: Embrace
May 19, 2008
From Wikipedia:
Embrace was a short-lived Post-hardcore band from Washington, D.C., which lasted from the summer of 1985 to the spring of 1986 and was one of the first bands to be dubbed in the press as Emo, though the members had rejected the term since its creation. The band included Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat with three former members of his brother Alec’s band The Faith: guitarist Michael Hampton, drummer Ivor Hanson, and bassist Chris Bald. The only recording released by the quartet was their self-titled album Embrace.

Emo. I don’t think there has ever been a worse word invented for a genre of music. I refuse to use the word Emo unless I’m making fun of someone.
