Rites of Spring formed in March 1984 in Washington D.C. They were the first true emo band. They didn't play live very often but when they did, they were known for their broken guitars and smashed drum kits at the end of their shows. Rites Of Spring is no longer together. :[ Half the band joined Fugazi.
