Rites of Spring - S/T- LP

Rites of Spring was an American punk rock band from Washington, D.C., formed in late 1983.[Along with Embrace and Beefeater, they were one of the mainstay acts of the 1985 Revolution Summer movement which took place within the Washington, D.C. hardcore punk scene. 

Musically, the band pushed the violence and passion of hardcore punk while experimenting with composition. The personal nature of their lyrics put them at the forefront of the emerging emo genre, though the band rejected the label.  

The band only performed 19 shows, 16 in the DC area and 3 outside of DC. Vocalist/guitarist Guy Picciotto and drummer Brendan Canty went on to play in Fugazi with producer and former Minor Threat singer Ian MacKaye in the late 1980s, while bassist Mike Fellows formed Miighty Flashlight and has had a solo career.
