Panama might be off the DIY punk map for most, but Hez have been tearing it up for a while. A few moons back, their tumultuous Guerra Interior EP exploded onto the scene, making an impact on the select few who’ve been introduced to their music. Reminiscent of Destino Final’s classic record Atrapados, Hez churns out gritty hardcore punk that pounds your eardrums with relentless percussions like a street brawl in an abandoned alley. Throw in hauntingly reverbed vocals, fractured bass, and fierce, frantic guitars, and you’re caught in the chaotic whirlwind that is their new album Panamaniacs. Peppered with more frenetic punk action and weird effects that evoke the sound of a glitching transformer, this album carves out a unique niche. While respectful of their influences, Hez have truly come into their own, proving that distinctive quality and character are the rewards of perseverance.” — Mittens, DIY Conspiracy’s 23 Raw & Filthy Hardcore Punk Records You Might Have Missed This Year, 2023
Poverty Porn is a three-piece punk rock band from Missoula, Montana. Their queer and BIPOC backgrounds also shape their unique perspective. The band’s guitarist and vocalist, Kye, is a member of the Meskwaki First Nation from Iowa, while their bassist, Anthony, is Puerto Rican. The band has had several drummers in their rotating cast, some of whom are also people of color. Their music is characterized by buzzsaw guitars, heavy bass riffs, and gruff vocals, with deeply personal and raw lyrics exploring addiction, frustration, and the struggles of life. With their latest EP, “Upper-Middle-Class-Softcore,” produced by Nataanii of the Missoula rock band Fuuls, the band showcases even more sonically punishing and emotionally charged songs than their previous releases. Their high-energy live shows create a sense of community among fans and make them a force to be reckoned with in the punk scene. Poverty Porn has a bright future ahead of them as they continue to tackle complex and uncomfortable topics with self-deprecation and humor.
