The story of the Lower Echelon is the story of Los Angeles itself. As the name suggests, the L.A.-based trio is dedicated to that invisible class of displaced, underserved and angry Angelenos left behind in the face of financial destruction. The trio's original blend of rock styles bears witness to the daily struggle between the gentrified newness and the real Los Angeles. the Lower Echelon delivers garage rock clarity with thoughtful lyrics, driving energy and punk enthusiasm.
