Hang Loose with The Surfin' Lungs Hang Loose With The Surfin' Lungs is the fourth album released by surf music band The Surfin' Lungs, released in 1996 on the Spanish label No Tomorrow. This album featured new drummer Ray Webb, re-christened Ray Banz by the group, who replaced LA-bound Graeme Block. Coming six years after their previous album, "The Beach Will Never Die", this longplayer represented a progression in terms of musicianship and style, while Webb's vocals helped create a more rounder sound to the group. Also, "Hang Loose" had more of an edgier feel, with Clive Gilling's guitar work more prominent than previous releases. Of the 14 tracks, 13 were written by the group, while one, "Peppermint Twist" was a cover of a song by the Joey Dee and the Starliters, which was a No.1 hit single on the U.S. "Billboard" Hot 100 in 1961.
