There's a great hardcore label in Moscow called Old Skool Kids, and I've featured a few of their Russian and Latvian bands here before (Changes, In.Stora). A new release of theirs that's really excellent is a split CD featuring When My Authorities Fall and Argument 5.45. Both bands on this split impressed me tremendously, and I want to showcase both of them. So, this week check out When My Authorities Fall, politically-charged and highly energetic hardcore from Riga, Latvia.
When My Authorities Fall - Smile Cry Sleep Enough (MP3)
Recent Spotlights: King Ly Chee (Hong Kong), FC Five (Japan).
