On this episode of Lipps Service, Scott sits down with the blistering Irish rock quartet Inhaler! The band fronted by Elijah Hewson most recently released its junior album, 'Open Wide,' in February. They kick off the conversation talking about touring, including life on the road, playing festivals like Sea. Hear. Now., and gigs in South America. The guys get into how they met and formed in Ireland, and the Irish music scene they grew up in, with bands like Fontaines DC. They discuss loads about the influence of UK and Irish music and their own experiences shaping today’s generation – what it was like opening up for Noel Gallagher, the current Oasis comeback stadium tour, and the new Spinal Tap 2 movie. They talk about the new album and the stories behind some of its hit songs like “Concrete.” The band also gets into the plights of musicians today, giving their thoughts on AI, starting young in the industry, band fights, and band democracy. Inhaler spills so much during this interview, hinting at what’s to come, so this chat is not to be missed. Tune into this great chat with Inhaler on Lipps Service!
