About this episode
Richard McNamara on Embrace, New Music & Looking Back at the 90s
On this episode of The MarshyCast, I’m joined by Richard McNamara from Embrace as the band return with their latest single Road To Nowhere, a new album Avalanche, and a tour on the horizon.
Richard reflects on the band’s journey, from their early days in the 90s to achieving a number one album — and how, at the time, they didn’t fully take in the moment.
We talk about how being in a band changes over time, how perspective shifts with age, and how Embrace approach their music now. Do they have a defined “Embrace sound”, or are they still experimenting?
Richard also shares what fans can expect from the upcoming tour, and opens up about revisiting older material — including the one song he’s not particularly fond of performing.
It’s a thoughtful and honest conversation about longevity, creativity and staying relevant across decades.
