This week we’re discussing the short discography of Rites of Spring. Credited (along with Embrace) with helping to create emo-core, Rites of Spring went wild during their brief existence. They played only a few shows—destroying all their equipment in the process—but their influence remains today. Singer Guy Picciotto and drummer Brendan Canty went on to form Fugazi with Ian Mackaye and Joe Lally shortly after.
