International Spotlight: The Killing Flame (USA by way of São Paulo, Brazil)

Now this is a little bit unorthodox, but hey, it's a punk rock website. This is the first US band to end up in our International Spotlight, but we felt that the label makes it worthwhile. Here's the details from Tim Krysko of Punk International:

Highlight Sounds is a label in São Paulo, Brazil that puts out a lot of foreign records (mostly from the USA and Sweden) in their own local market. They've handled the Brazilian release of bands like Samiam, Millencolin, and Refused. Their latest release is Nine More Lives from the recently-resurrected Killing Flame, a classic Orange County hardcore band (comprised of ex-members of Ignite, No For An Answer) that released their one album, Another Breath, on Equal Vision in 2000 (plus a couple EPs before that). So far, there's no word on a North American release of this record, but you can win a copy of the Brazilian version right now at Punk International's current Pick Your Prize giveaway.
