There is also a [[ballet]] called [[The Rite of Spring]].
---------
'''Rites of Spring''' was a [[punk rock]] band from [[Washington, D.C.]]. Rites of Spring is often cited as pioneering the [[emocore]] movement.
Although they were only together from the spring of [[1984 in music|1984]] through the winter of [[1986 in music|1986]], they are often credited with helping to define the genre along with the bands [[Faith_(band)|Faith]] and [[Embrace (U.S. band)|Embrace]].
Following Rites of Spring, singer and guitarist [[Guy Picciotto]], guitarist [[Eddie Janney]], and drummer [[Brendan Canty]] formed the band [[One Last Wish]] with Embrace alumnus [[Michael Hampton]]. However, the three joined former Rites bassist Michael Fellows for a quasi-reincarnation of Rites of Spring called [[Happy Go Licky]], which did not survive long enough to make any studio recordings, though they did release an LP/CD comprised of various live concert recordings. Picciotto and Canty eventually teamed up with the former singer of Embrace, [[Ian MacKaye]], owner of the band’s label [[Dischord Records]], in [[Fugazi_(band)|Fugazi]].
'''''Rites of Spring''''' was the band’s [[1895 in music|1985]] self-titled debut album. The 12 songs were recorded at [[Inner Ear Studios]] in February of [[1985]], and released on vinyl in June 1985 as Dischord Records number 16. The album was released on CD and cassette in [[1987 in music|1987]], with an additional track from the same session, "Other Way Around," as well as the four songs from their follow-up [[EP]], ''All Through a Life'', Dischord number 22. The CD and cassette originally retained the number 16, however, the [[1991 in music|1991]] repress as well as the [[2001 in music|2001]] remastered version of the same 17 songs, were numbered 16CD, and given the new title ''End on End''. It is still cataloged by Dischord as being the self-titled LP, though.
