Inhaler
Band Dublin Ireland Formed 2016 Irish pop rock band
Inhaler formed in 2016 in Dublin, Ireland. Inhaler has 25 chart appearances on 21 radio countdowns from 10 stations on RockLists, spanning 2021–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “These Are the Days”, which appears on 6 lists with a best position of #2. The station that charted Inhaler most often is 107.1 The Peak (Westchester County, NY), with 5 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2023.
Inhaler are a Dublin four-piece built around singer and guitarist Elijah Hewson, with Robert Keating on bass, Josh Jenkinson on guitar and keyboards, and Ryan McMahon on drums. They play big-hearted guitar rock with a post-punk pulse and a dance-floor bounce, the sort of band that already sounds like it is aiming for arenas.
Their debut, It Won't Always Be Like This, landed on 9 July 2021 and went straight in at number one in Ireland and the UK, with "Cheer Up Baby" flexing a strutting, sulky groove. Cuts & Bruises followed on 17 February 2023, where "These Are the Days" and "Love Will Get You There" swapped some of the brooding for open-hearted, windows-down choruses.
Open Wide arrived on 7 February 2025, and "Billy (yeah yeah yeah)" shows a band getting looser and more playful, leaning into the pop in their pop rock without losing the bite.
