Rites of Spring, along with Embrace, (though there were other bands involved in Revolution Summer) are widely credited with creating the sub-genre of punk rock which would come to be known as Emo, though they would surely distance themselves from that label.
Picciotto's musical resume also includes the bands One Last Wish (1986), Happy Go Licky (1987 - 1988), Brief Weeds (Ep's released circa 1991 - 1992), and The Black Light Panthers (ongoing sporadic project since 1982), the last two bands both being projects with Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty.
He also created a record label called Peterbilt Records, which released limited quantity vinyl record albums for the bands Rain, Happy Go Licky, and Deadline, then years later was involved in releasing the One Last Wish, 1986 CD, along with Dischord Records.
