Matt and Andrew's CD a Day project

Embrace have had an interesting career. They started out as a second-generation Britpop bands, ripping off the pompous bits from Oasis and the sweeping, anthemic bits from the Verve, and then combining them into big, sweeping, anthemic, pompous ballads that were huge in the UK (and completely ignored in the U.S.) "I Wouldn't Want to Happen to You" was from their second album, in 2000, and comes with a great cover of "3 is a Magic Number" (that's right, the Schoolhouse Rock song, kids). "Make It Last" is from the third album in 2001 that was not very successful and comes with a cool, Blair Witch-style video.
See, after most people stopped caring, Embrace kept a tiny, devoted fanbase by doing these unannounced guerrila-style gigs in places like forests and parking lots on short notice. Then Chris from Coldplay wrote them a song, it went to No. 1 in Britain, and now they're on the comeback trail.
