RITES OF SPRING ‎– Rites Of Spring Queercore bassist Mel Ellis"One of D. C.s most touted younger bands comes across with a melodic punk style that combines older style punk and rock into a powerful force. With ringing guitars, chunky rhythms, and ruff vocals, they come across not unlike area mates SCREAM in toughs but pop appeal."
