Inhaler

About

Inhaler, the Dublin-based quartet, has emerged as one of the most electrifying voices in modern indie rock, blending soaring melodies with introspective lyricism. Fronted by Elijah Hewson, son of U2’s Bono, the band has carved out a distinct identity, proving their artistry is more than just a famous surname. Their sound is a kaleidoscope of influences, from the jangly guitars of The Strokes to the atmospheric textures of Joy Division, creating a sonic landscape that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary. Since their formation in 2012, Inhaler has steadily climbed the ranks, with their debut album *It Won’t Always Be Like This* (2021) marking a breakthrough. The record, a poignant exploration of youth and uncertainty, resonated deeply with fans and critics alike, earning them a Mercury Prize nomination. Their live performances, characterized by raw energy and anthemic choruses, have solidified their reputation as a must-see act, gracing stages at Glastonbury and supporting acts like Arctic Monkeys. Inhaler’s cultural impact lies in their ability to capture the zeitgeist of a generation grappling with identity and hope. Their music feels like a rallying cry for the disillusioned yet optimistic. Recent developments include their sophomore album, *Cuts & Bruises* (2023), which showcases a more polished yet emotionally raw direction. With collaborations spanning from producers like Antony Genn to their ever-growing global fanbase, Inhaler is poised to remain a defining force in indie rock.
