An abstract sketch of the human form used to promote a concert by the Washington, D.C. punk band, Rites of Spring. The words "Revolution Summer" are near the drawing, indicating that the concert was thought of as the informal beginning to Revolution Summer, a movement within D.C. punk to fight for social justice and to revive the local punk scene.
