Out of Vogue

Out of Vogue was the debut EP by American punk rock band the Middle Class. It was distributed locally by independent label Joke Records in early January 1979, though it received only small local success in an era where punk had virtually no chance of radio airplay in the US. The band has achieved more recognition in recent years, being featured in the documentary American Hardcore in 2006. According to the documentary, vocalist Jeff Atta quoted that instead of learning instruments and adopting punk as a style, the band instead learned to play the first punk rock records, also relying on precision rather than perfection.
