Rites of Spring was an American post-hardcore band from Washington, D.C., in the mid-1980s, known for their energetic live performances. A part of the D.C. hardcore punk scene, Rites of Spring increased the frenetic violence and visceral passion of hardcore while simultaneously experimenting with its compositional rules. Lyrically, they also shifted hardcore into intensely personal realms and, in doing so, are often considered the first emo band, but Rites of Spring itself rejects any association between themselves and emo genres. The band only performed around 15 shows in the DC area. Vocalist/guitarist Guy Picciotto and drummer Brendan Canty went on to play in Fugazi in the late 1980s. ==Band history== ''AllMusic'' Though rooted in the loud-and-fast style of hardcore punk, Rites of Spring is claimed after the fact as being the founders of the emotional hardcore genre, or what is now commonly and retrospectively called emo-core, a precursor of screamo and emo. Jenny Toomey notes that, "Rites of Spring existed well before the term did and they hated it."〔 They were influenced by The Faith (Eddie Janney's previous band) and their 1983 EP ''Subject to Change'' with their introspective lyrics and angry, melody-tinged songwriting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Subject to Change 12" EP )〕 The band is named after the symphonic ballet ''The Rite of Spring'' by Igor Stravinsky. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rites of Spring」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
