Riga, Latvia (2002 – 2006)

When My Authorities Fall was political hardcorepunk rock band from Riga, Latvia. Years active from 2002 till 2006.

The music employs good dynamics and falls somewhere between contemporary and classic ’90s . The dual male vocals really drive this music. The vocals blend slightly off key higher pitched singing with a heavier, lower pitched screaming.

When My Authorities lyrics range from personal struggle in the world of communicating images to direct critiques of spectacular society, state fascism and commodity driven lifestyles. Most of their lyrics are in Latvian and English with explanations in both languages. The songs tackle border issues (which is making serious headlines in the states right now), addictions, and the possibilities of living autonomously. The translations / explanations are exact, which is always helpful.

the original lineup:

Mārtiņš Kauss - vocal
Jēkabs Januševskis - vocal (currently Silards)
Jānis Januševskis - guitar
Andris Liepiņš - guitar
Ivo - bass guitar (currently Zhiurkes)
Jānis Burmeisters - drums (currently Silards & Tesa)
