Embrace was a short-lived American
Following the breakup of Embrace,[16] MacKaye and ex-Minor Threat drummer, Jeff Nelson, tried turning their recent one-off musical experiment in England, dubbed "Egg Hunt", into an actual band,[19] but the project never made it past the rehearsal stage.[20][21][22] Hampton, for his part, teamed up with former members of Rites of Spring to form the short-lived post-hardcore outfit One Last Wish, while Bald moved on to the band Ignition. MacKaye eventually directed his energy and creativity toward the forming of Fugazi in 1987,[20][22][23] and Ivor Hanson would pair up with Hampton again in 1988 for Manifesto.[24]
During the band's formative years, some fans started referring to them and fellow innovators Rites of Spring as emocore (emotive hardcore) bands, a term MacKaye publicly disagreed with.[8][10]
