About Rites Of Spring

Rites Of Spring was a groundbreaking band formed in Washington, D.C., in 1984. They are often credited with being one of the first emo bands, blending hardcore punk with intensely personal lyrics. The band consisted of Guy Picciotto, Eddie Janney, Mike Fellows, and Brendan Canty. Despite their short-lived career, they left a lasting impact on the music scene.

Their songs often delve into the struggles of repetitive life cycles and the monotonous daily routine, reflecting a deep sense of internal emotional conflict. These themes resonate with listeners who feel trapped in their everyday lives, searching for meaning and emotional release. Rites Of Spring's music continues to inspire and influence emo and punk bands today.
