Dry Kids: B-sides 1997-2005 is a compilation album of b-sides by Yorkshire band Embrace, released on 31 October 2005. It features 18 tracks from singles and EPs across their entire career, including a version of "Blind", an early live favourite which many fans felt was undeservedly left off their first album "The Good Will Out", as was their Otis Redding-influenced "The Way I Do".

Much time is given to b-sides of recent singles from their fourth album Out of Nothing, including the experimental groove of "Flaming Red Hair", as well as "Feels Like Glue", "The Shot's Still Ringing", "Too Many Times" and even a live cover version of Eminem/D12's "How Come". Dry Kids is regarded by many fans as the band's most diverse and satisfying album, although due to lack of publicity from record company EMI the album only reached #129 in the UK chart.

This didn't bother guitarist Richard however, who claimed he didn't even remember what date Dry Kids was released on.

Dry Kids - B-sides 1997-2005 also features extensive liner notes by long-time fan and music journalist Nick Southall, senior writer at Stylus Magazine, and occasional contributor to The Guardian.
