The eponymous track from Inhaler’s new album is emblematic of the Irish quartet’s daring new era, a driving indie-rock epic mixing yearning hooks, expansive guitar lines and Balearic-style percussion. A huge singalong set to their most undeniable and infectious groove yet, “Open Wide” is the sound of a band thrillingly coming into their own. Already familiar as a fan-favorite from the band’s recent North American tour, the new track is one of 13 songs featured on their upcoming album.
Speaking about their new song, frontman Elijah Hewson says, “’Open Wide’ was originally a short electronic house demo that was lying around in our graveyard. We loved the bass line and the four to the floor kick on it.
When we took it to the studio in London for the tracking of the album and started playing it in the room it took on almost the opposite form, it’s still got that hypnotic tunnel thing, but it’s gone panoramic. We love it.”
The album Open Wide was produced by Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles/Florence & The Machine) and marks a giant leap forward for the band. Beginning work on it early this year in London, the band were encouraged to challenge themselves and take more creative control. Listening to a wide range of genres during writing - from techno to Nick Cave – inspired them to experiment with a brighter, timeless sound, adding texture to the record. The result is an album of 13 songs that feels unique - a guitar-driven pop album unlike any other, solidifying their status as one of the most exciting young bands today.
INHALER will kick off their North American headline run on February 28th at HISTORY in Toronto, ON. The tour will include shows at Brooklyn Paramount (March 6), The Fillmore in Philadelphia (March 8), and Stubb’s in Austin (March 18) and more before wrapping in Dallas at House of Blues on March 19. See below for North American tour dates. The band previously announced international dates in Europe, Asia and their biggest ever UK tour with two shows at the iconic rock venue Brixton Academy.

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. Their debut album, It Won’t Always Be Like This, hit #1 in the UK and Ireland, while their 2023 follow-up, Cuts & Bruises, topped the Irish charts and reached #2 in the UK. To maintain this momentum, bandmates and childhood friends 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 at the Dublin 3Arena last year.
