 | | Born in D.C. on September 17, 1965, it was a local Cramps show in 1979 that inspired Picciotto to get involved in the punk scene (strangely enough, MacKaye was at the same show and also lists it as a life-changing event), while further Clash and Bad Brains gigs convinced him to form his own band. |
 | | Formed during the spring of 1984, the Rites of Spring was an incredibly short lived group, who only managed to issue a full length (1985's Rites of Spring) and a seven inch single (1986's four-track All Through a Life), but proved to be incredibly influential, especially years later with emocore bands. |
 | | Few rock groups can claim to be as uncompromising as Fugazi has been since their inception, as they became renowned for their penchant for keeping record and ticket prices to their shows affordable, and continually turning down offers to jump to a major label. |
