"The influences seem to be Badfinger, Sweet, Queen, Bad Company and a whole lot of other `70s album rock... The album opens with the power balladish "Just Don`t Know," which with its achingly epic vocal and lead piano belongs in a stadium full of bell bottoms and lighters raised heavenward. "The Meal" pickpockets the hook from Kiss` "Rock and Roll All Night" (and there could be worse ways of getting famous then by getting sued by Gene Simmons and company)... Elsewhere there is the Neil Youngish "Rollin`" whose southern roots show, though as band member Mark Fredson observes after bringing the song up "makes no sense since we`re in one of the most northern points in the country."There`s also the opening to "Say Your Prayers" that could be the missing riff from Yes` "Roundabout" before it devolves into Thin Lizzy. Or the title track, which is driven by a riff that, to describe in language the muscle-car-and-Pabst-set uses, is just nasty. "It`s just kind of a raw sound. We did it all on analog tape so we were going for that vintage sound," Fredson says. "It was a trying record, but fun.`" - MSNBC. " 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."-SeattlePI. " 4 out of 5. What happens when retro goes serious? On the success of artists like Wolfmother, or my personal favorite, Amplified Heat, Port Angeles, Washington`s The Lonely H are here with their sophomore effort Hair to prove good old fashioned rock`n`roll is not dead. Sounding like the bastard sons of some distorted Led Zeppelin groupie orgy, these have humility coming out the ying yang for a bunch of barely high schoolers with two albums to their credit already. If one thing, Hair is the most unique record you`ll hear all year. In between vocal hymns that seek Queen`s approval, and bridges that Pink Floyd would nod at, sits another type of confidence. Not just some tribute to rock of the 70`s The Lonely H have a subtle attachment to the 21st century. Songs like The Meal tick and tock with an aggressive tempo, and respectable blues breaks. Something about this song just reminds me of The Rocky Horror Picture show."-MusicEmissions.
