Listen Up: The Lonely H's 'Hair'

"Hair" (The Control Group)

Listen to "Hair" and you can tell this youthful Port Angeles quintet -- four members are recent high school graduates -- raided their parents' vinyl collections. The record is full of nods to classic rock icons such as Queen, Zeppelin, Neil Young and others. Instead of stealing these sounds, The Lonely H play their own style, mixing indie rock panache with classic rock flair. You'll be hooked by the time the dueling guitar acrobatics kick in near the end of "The Drought." These 11 songs are perfect for beach listening and blaring at backyard barbecues.
