the Lower Echelon

A no-nonsense band fusing the best of all Punk genres. Mixing the 60’s era underground garage rock w/ the spirit of ‘77 & early 80’s Hard Core.

@MichaelMatteoRo There are so many, but here are 4 that aren't as obvious.

[the Lower Echelon @thelowerechelon]

@MichaelMatteoRo Dr. Evil for sure, and a lot of other good ones too, but I'd like to submit Dennis Hooper in True Romance to the mix.

@JakeRudh This doesn't answer the question (and I can't for the life of me (!!!) find a copy of it) BUT I wore my Electric Tour concert shirt for my '87 "class/school photo"! 🤘🏼

[the Lower Echelon @thelowerechelon]

RIP #JoeStrummer ... We talk about you almost everyday. We tried our best to honor you and the only band that mattered a few years back. Cheers

Finally got around to dustin’ off the cobwebs yesterday... Our original bassist filled in while @prisonforkids continues to “vacation” in VT.
Did ok but it was fucking hot... #GlobalWarmingIsMakingItHardToPractice #CrowdfundForAC

[the Lower Echelon @thelowerechelon]

@PunKandStuff One of the best and still holds up.

[the Lower Echelon @thelowerechelon]

Hell yeah! One of our all-time favorite songs to cover. #TheJam #InTheCity

[PuNk and Stuff @PunKandStuff]

'In the city there's a thousand things I want to say to you
But whenever I approach you, you make me look a fool
I wanna say, I wanna tell you
About the young ideas
But you turn them into fears...'

On this day in 1977 #TheJam released their first single
'In The City'
