One Last Wish was a short-lived post-hardcore band from Washington, D.C.[1] It was formed in May 1986 by members of Rites of Spring and Embrace, and split up in January 1987.
Amidst the breakup of Rites of Spring in 1986, three of its four members – Picciotto, Janney and Canty – formed the band, alongside Michael Hampton, former guitarist of the Faith and Embrace.
Dischord had decided against the release in light of their growing reputation as a label of defunct bands.
[3] During 1987 and 1988, Picciotto, Janney and Canty reunited with Michael Fellows for a quasi reunion of Rites of Spring, taking on the new name Happy Go Licky.
One song, "Burning in the Undertow", was released on the Dischord benefit sampler "State of the Union" in April 1989.
