Inhaler

1 festival played

Dublin four-piece trading in big-reverb guitar hooks and baritone vocals, closer to eighties post-punk radio than the Britpop revival they get filed with.

Inhaler are a four-piece from Dublin, made up of Elijah Hewson on vocals and guitar, Josh Jenkinson on guitar, Robert Keating on bass and Ryan McMahon on drums. The members met at school and began playing together in their teens, releasing a run of singles before their debut album.

Their sound draws on chiming, effects-heavy guitar and Hewson's low, melodic delivery, with reference points closer to eighties alternative rock than to the guitar bands they are often grouped with. The debut album It Won't Always Be Like This appeared in 2021, and Cuts & Bruises followed in 2023.
