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.
