Let’s talk about the MOVING TARGETS.
After a very successful Reunion Tour in 2018 mastermind Ken Chambers (Vocals/Guitar) continues with drummer Emilien Catalano and bass player Yves Thibault, both from Montreal, the trio continues to prove why the MOVING TARGETS remain one of the most respected and influential acts to ever emerge from the American underground scene.
Founded in the early 80’s hardcore punk scene, the Moving Targets went their own way at the day their album „Burning in Water“ was released in 1986. After „Wires“ (2019), „Humbucker“ (2020) and „In the Dust“ (2023) they released their 8th Studio Album „Red Eyes“ in 2025, which was recorded and produced by their friend J.Robbins (Jawbox) It’s the extraordinary songwriting and they way how Kenny Chambers is treating his guitar who makes this band to a kind of milestone. Open guitar chords, melodic riffs and his often touching vocals with wonderful hooklines– all powered by powerful drumming and punchy basslines – all set in a warm sound athmosphere, unique and timeless proving why the MOVING TARGETS influenced so many bands.
Fans of such bands like Hüsker Dü, The Lemonheads, Mission of Burma, Bullet Lavolta or Buffalo Tom love the Moving Targets. Crunchy but melodic hardcore punk inbetween sixties-mod-rock and early power-pop punk hooklines. Definetly an own quality!
