On Flex Your Head episode 9 host Jason Schreurs and guest Indie Mike wax emotive over Rites of Spring's discography 'End on End.' Although the word "emo" is said too many times in this episode, Mike and I are both steadfast in the belief that RoS were simply a punk/hardcore band that wore its heart on its sleeve more than most did.
