Springing from the fertile grounds of Boston's hardcore punk-rock scene, Moving Targets are a little-known but seminal link in a chain that joins hardcore and other early-'80s Boston music strains like collegiate art rock and folk-rock to '90s alternative rock. This 7" is definitely worth the downl.

The Monks were an English punk band formed in the 1970s, by former members of Strawbs - Richard Hudson, John Ford and Terry Cassidy, along with Clive Pearce (drums). Hudson played guitar, having switched from drums. Their first album, Bad Habits, was released in 1979. The album spawned a number 19 hit single in the UK Singles Chart — "Nice Legs Shame About Her Face",that goes:
Met her on a blind date, helping out an old mate Waiting at the corner, she’s be dressed in black There was I expecting a really tasty bird He said she was good looking, I should have doubt his word When I saw her there she was a real disgrace I thought nice legs shame about the face
I had to take her dancing, I couldn’t let her down So we caught the bus to the other side of town Out upon the dance floor, I wasn’t getting far So I had a drink with my friends up at the bar I asked them what they thought of her they fell about the place And they said nice legs shame about her face
She said could we go bowling, I said that would be fine But when I bought the tickets She’d already changed her mind She was turning out to be a real hard case Nice legs shame about the boat race
Downed a gin and soda, tapped me on the shoulder Whispered in my ear it’s getting kind of late When I took her home we hardly said a thing I walked her to the door, expected to go in She looked me up and down and really put me in my place She said nice legs shame about your face Nice legs shame about your face.

After a few short months holed up in Los Angeles in 2001 writing new material, Jody Bleyle (ex-Team Dresch, ex-Hazel) and Tamala Poljak (ex-Longstocking, ex-Automaticians) emerged with the opus that has become the self-titled Chainsaw Records debut by Infinite X's. Everything between the opening track, "Welcome to the Show," showcasing the songwriting and vocal skills of guitarist Whitney Skillcorn (ex-Fighter D, ex-The Little Deaths), and Poljak's album closer, "Brand New Reconnection," is a joyride combining the best of Bleyle's punk anthems with Poljak's pop masterpieces, sprinked with Skillcorn's soft spoken pop punk gems. Scotty Walsh, also of the Automaticans, rounds out the line-up on drums.
