Inhaler - Cuts & Bruises (2023)

Posted By: Fizzpop

Date: Feb. 17, 2023

Inhaler occupy a peculiar place in 2023’s music scene. They appear as a typical indie-rock band: four members, a heart-throb singer and songs about young adulthood powered by guitars and bravado. But they’re signed to a major label in Polydor, and frontman Elijah Hewson’s dad is Bono, 21st century’s most divisive musical figures. A curious juxtaposition.

Their stature in a crowded scene has confounded the band, too. Speaking to NME, the band recalled a conversation they had with Sam Fender about finding their place, with the Geordie hero declaring himself, the band and their contemporaries as “alternative pop”. And he’s largely right. What the Dublin band do on ‘Cuts & Bruises’, their second album, will be certainly popular; sharp enough to entice the most cynical listener and approachable for casuals. But little of what they do is alternative. The band already boast records, their debut album ‘It Won’t Always Be Like This’ being the UK’s fastest-selling debut album on vinyl this century. Support slots with Arctic Monkeys and Harry Styles later this year will only further the name. Bands like theirs are breaking out on a regular basis: just look at Wet Leg’s triumphant wins at The Grammys and The Brits over the past fortnight.
