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