By Greg Ackerman Verified| The Cosmic Clash@ Back at the end of June, Ram Vela & the Easy Targets dropped their new EP, What the Hell. The record is filled with pop punk irony on par with West Coast punk heroes The Offspring or the irreverent Reel Big Fish. The difference is Vela’s biting lyrics which belie his quite joyous music which will not doubt spawn countless solo dance parties while folks stream this gem from the group’s Bandcamp page.
