      1984 was a time of redefinition within the punk scene in Washington, DC and Rites of Spring more than led the charge. Ritesof Spring not only challenged the macho posturing that had become so prevalent, but more importantly they defied musicaland stylistic rule. The people that followed the band made it a point to try to never miss a gig, as ROS seemed to approachevery show as if it was their last. The results could be explosive, often resulting in the destruction of their equipment, and thismay well be one reason that they ended up playing only about 15 shows. In their brief existence Rites of Spring released onefull-length, End on End , and a 7", All Through A Life , both on Dischord Records.
