Panama might be off the DIY punk map for most, but Hez has been tearing it up for a while. Mirage, with the (mostly) Italian language vocals ties them to the rich history of Italian hardcore while the music draws on post-punk atmosphere and psychedelic texture. Acid Casualities, for all their negativity, they still have some love in their hearts but it's reserved for Hardcore and skin-tearing speed. More recent in the scene, Tenaz, with its melodic anarco-punk and Recall, hardcore-punk with d beats, both from Montreal.
