Out of Vogue EP was the first release by Californian punk rock band the Middle Class. The record was distributed locally by independent label Joke Records in 1978, 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 records, also relying on precision rather than perfection.
The EP, coming as it did before most other generally recognized landmarks of hardcore punk, is, along with Black Flag's 1978 7" EP, Nervous Breakdown, and Bad Brains's "Pay to Cum" is considered possibly the first hardcore record.
