In 1983 the Southern California band The Targets released this EP.
The record and sleeve says very little about this band and, therefore, I
know very little about them. This release was on a label called
American Standard Records based in Torrance California - I can't find
any info on them either.
The Targets sound is a little bit reminiscent of The English Beat with a bit of The Donkey Show and even a slight bit of Blondie. Not strictly ska but they fit perfectly in the 2 Tone era.

Another blog called The Ripple Effect provided a lot more information about this record. I have included the text from that blog with this download for those of you who are interested.
