The Middle Class

Middle Class were an American punk rock/hardcore punk band established in 1976 in Santa Ana, California. The band consisted of Jeff Atta on vocals, Mike Atta on lead guitar, Mike Patton on bass, and Bruce Atta on drums. The band achieved only local success, but has achieved slightly more success in recent years, enough to be included in the hardcore punk documentary "American Hardcore" in 2006. The band’s most popular release was the 'Out of Vogue' EP, released in 1978, particularly known for the titular song “Out of Vogue”. The band pioneered a shouted, fast version of punk rock which would shape the hardcore sound that would soon emerge. The band achieved success in the hardcore punk scene of Southern California. Their first shows were in 1978 in various Los Angeles clubs and ballrooms. Their only LP, 'Homeland', is completely different, a skittering and complicated wonder that compares to the records of The Pop Group. The song "Listen" became a staple on US college radio in the mid-80s. [SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA]
