Reviews

  • Dispatess
    Rites of Spring are an essential listen for anyone interested in a small lesson in rock history—it’s only 40 minutes too! This ill-fated band lasted for a few years but did much. It birthed emo with its melodramatism in lyrics and exaggerated vocal performances. It also gave way to several other famous bands, like Fugazi. I love everything about this record. I feel like I’m in a sweaty and dark club dancing my ass off to these jams. Not to mention the crowning final touch that is “End on End.” What a great way to wrap things up.
