Middle Class is Mike Atta, Jeff Atta, Matt Simon and Mike Patton (no, not that Mike Patton). Depending on who you ask, you might be told they are the first ever hardcore band, or you might get kicked in the gut with a pre-scuffed Urban Outfitters combat boot. They’re returning to the Echo to play a badass L.A. RECORD show with Kid Congo, the Urinals and Grant Hart this Friday. This interview by Jonny Bell.
