THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Recorded at RAK Studios in London and produced by Grammy and Brit Award-winning Kid Harpoon, Inhaler’s new album Open Wide reinforces their status as the ultimate modern guitar band, a group for whom jubilant pop melodies, intricate grooves and rock ’n’ roll dynamism are kindred spirits rather than strangers.
Featuring 13 songs, it hones the sweeping, euphoric singalongs of their first two albums — It Won’t Always Be Like This and Cuts & Bruises — into something more fully-formed, a record you can lose yourself in and one where every track feels like it could be a big single. Sonically, it’s an album where the band’s love of T. Rex, early MGMT, Prince, Depeche Mode and more nestles alongside the indie and garage-rock influences of their teens, and is a majestic celebration of who Inhaler are and everything they’ve done to get to this point.
Since their career launched in 2018, Inhaler have been among the biggest new names in guitar music, achieving commercial success with roaring chart positions. To date, they’ve sold over a quarter of a million records globally and garnered 500 million streams. To maintain this momentum, bandmates and childhood friends Eli Hewson, Robert Keating, Ryan McMahon and Josh Jenkinson have spent the past few whirlwind years on a relentless world tour, supporting acts like Arctic Monkeys, Pearl Jam, Harry Styles and Kings of Leon, as well as headlining their own shows, including a sold-out 13,000-capacity homecoming show in Dublin.”
