The Dublin quartet formed while at school, and haven't stopped since.
Following the release of their new single earlier this month, Inhaler have returned with a trippy video for their anthemic rock track, 'When It Breaks'. The video was once again directed by former Jesus & Mary Chain bassist Douglas Hart and Antony Genn. A searing anthem, ‘When It Breaks’ was recorded over the summer and its lyrical themes chime with the unease and disquiet of the world in 2020.
“We wrote ‘When It Breaks’ in the last couple of months," the band said in a statement. "We were floating around the instrumental demo, it was dark but also pretty hopeful sounding. When we went back to the studio over the summer and really got to put our heads together again, we felt like we had to write something about what was going on and how we felt about it.
"Coming off tour into lockdown was a huge adjustment for us after we had just got used to life on the tour," they continue. "At first, it was a welcome break but pretty soon we were dying to get back to any festival or any gig where we could get our fix! The lyrics and the music communicate the anxiousness of how we were all feeling and still are now a couple months later. It’s our interpretation of this strange and imperfect world we’ve come to live in. Things are gonna change and we are gonna be there when they do.”
