Their songs focused on personal introspection and provided an emotional release for singer Guy Picciotto, a rather uncoventional approach to Punk in the mid-'80s. Rites of Springs released only one album and played together for only three years. Upon their break-up, singer Picciotto and drummer Brendan Canty joined Ian MacKaye and Joe Lally to form Fugazi.Emo/Hardcoreen720Thu, 31 Dec 2009 02:53:24 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.37829&rws=%2Frites-of-spring%2Ftop-tracks.rss Considered by many to be the starting point of Emo, Rites of Spring formed in 1984, coming from the fertile Washington, D.C.
