Genre	Surf, punk pop
Label	Wild Punk

Full Petal Jacket is the seventh album released by surf music band The Surfin' Lungs, released in 2010 on the Spanish label Wild Punk Records and features a rare lead vocal by bassist Steve Dean, who wrote After All This Time about his wife. All 14 tracks are self-penned and they continue in the surf, sun and girls vein which the Lungs have become renowned for. Without the hard, punkier edge of Surf, Drags, Full Petal Jacket is a prime example of how to execute surf pop.
