Tracing Inhaler and their music career
Inhaler was formed as a collaboration between Elijah Hewson, Robert Keating, Josh Jenkinson, and Ryan McMahon while they were studying at St Andrews College at Blackrock in Dublin, Ireland. The band, in an interview with Extra, elaborated on the initial stages of their collaboration:
"We started writing music and decided that would be a cool thing to do as a job. We did the Leaving Cert in the summer and we’ve taken a year out to really go for it.The songs we wrote were part of our work experience in transition year. We managed to convince our teachers that playing in a band could count as work experience," they said.
The band released their debut studio album, It Won't Always Be Like This, on July 9, 2021, after signing a record deal with Polydor. The album was a breakthrough success, peaking as a chart-topper on the Irish and UK album, as well as at number 7 on the Dutch album chart. It also peaked at number 13 on the German album charts.
