Middle Class were part of the vibrant California punk scene in the late 1970s/early 1980s (they formed in Santa Ana and moved to nearby Fullerton). I would say this sounds like the perfect combination of Dead Kennedys with Mission of Burma. There were times that I thought of Utah's Foster Body as well.

Frontier Records released this full length compilation of Middle Class' early work (singles, etc.). Their debut 12" "Homeland" is also available streaming on Bandcamp.

While there were times that Middle Class reminds me of the speed and intensity of Husker Du, I felt that the quote on the front of Savage Young Du reminded me of Middle Class: We didn't know what hardcore was. We just got up there and played real fast and loud." (Greg Norton)

Landowner is a band from Holyoke, Massachusetts.  This is the first and only release on Born Yesterday Records.  I can’t say I ever imagined what The Feelies might sound like if they had more of a post-punk edge, but that’s what immediately struck me about Landowner.  There is definitely some groove rhythm here. Give “Drain Rock”, “Moving Again” and “Significant Experience”.

This release also reminds me of the sounds created by bands like Talking Heads, Foster Body and Dead Kennedys.

Thought Partner's Bandcamp page states, "We tell people we're a punk band." While they are not hardcore punk, Thought Partner (Boston, Massachusetts) most definitely are punk.

I've listened to "When Your Money Fails" twice now, and my first four band comparisons were Pavement, Minutemen, Protomartyr and Foster Body. I would say it's fair to refer to Thought Partner as punk.

"When Your Money Fails" was issued by new label Sum Studios and the band's earlier cassette release "Work Cake" (2021) was released by Crass Lips Records.

Bought a new record by this SLC group yesterday: Foster Body. I definitely noted the ‘90s revival nature of their influences when I first saw them live... but didn’t notice the Fugazi, Q & Not U, Dischord elements, which are of course much appreciated!
