In the publishing industry, an imprint can mean several different things: As a piece of bibliographic information about a book, it refers to the name and address of the book's publisher and its date of publication as given at the foot or on the verso of its title page. It can mean a trade name under which a work is published. One single publishing company may have multiple imprints; the different imprints are used by the publisher to market works to different demographic consumer segments. In some cases, the diversity results from the takeover of smaller publishers (or parts of their business) by a larger company. This usage of the word has evolved from the first meaning given above. It can also refer to a finer distinction of a book's version than "edition". This is used to distinguish, for example different printings, or printing runs of the same edition, or to distinguish the same edition produced by a different publisher or printer. With the creation of the "ISBN" identification system, which is assigned to a text prior to its printing, a different imprint has effectively come to mean a text with a different ISBN—if one had been assigned to it.

Matthew Embree is a singer and guitarist best known as the front-man of the Rx Bandits. Also, he plays lead guitar/vocals for The Sound of Animals Fighting, in which he is known as "The Walrus." He produced their most recent album ''The Ocean and the Sun''.

In 2008, he released ''Waxwane'', his first solo album, under the name Love You Moon. He is also in other acts such as Coke vs. Bills and Apotheke.

Embree has, in the past ten years, established himself as one of his generation’s most prolific, socially outspoken and musically diverse singer/songwriter/musicians. He has contributed to a number of genre defying bands such as Rx Bandits ,The Sound of Animals Fighting , Apotheke and pebaluna, to name a few. Embree has developed a strong and impassioned following that thrives on experiencing his genuine, and musically explosive live shows. For Embree, musicianship is paramount. At the root of all his endeavors lies a pureness and honesty that comes through in his lyrics and the style in which he records, which for the most part is always done live. Embree wrote, produced, and played all the instruments on his debut album, Waxwane, save for a few tracks featuring drums by Chris Tsagakis and vocals by Lauren Coleman (both members of Embree’s own homegrown community known as Mash Down Babylon Records). Sense of community is extremely important to Embree who started MDB Records in 2002. Operated out of a garage lovingly referred to as The Elizabethan in Seal Beach, California, MDB stems from Embree’s simple desire to help fellow musicians and artists in his circle of friends by releasing their music. In 2006, Embree began collaborating with management/label Sargent House, who helped MDB release of one of Embree’s other bands albums. The philosophies of MDB and Sargent House are shared in their communal spirit; always putting the artist first. Love You Moon’s debut album Waxwane was released by Sargent House/MDB Digitally on May 20th 2008 with a physical release that August.
