Inhaler announce details of second album, Cuts & Bruises

Inhaler have announced details of their second album, Cuts & Bruises, after sharing the James Arden-directed video for their '80s-infused new single 'Love Will Get You There'.

The Dublin band’s eagerly awaited sophomore album will be released on February 17th via Polydor Records.

Cuts & Bruises is the follow-up to Inhaler’s debut album It Won’t Always Be Like This, which debuted at no.1 in both the UK & Irish Official Charts. Released in July 2021, It Won’t Always Be Like This became the fastest-selling debut album on vinyl by any band this century and saw Inhaler become the first Irish group to top the Album Charts with a debut in 13 years.

‘Love Will Get You There’ is the second track to be unveiled from Cuts & Bruises and follows soaring anthem ‘These Are The Days’ which was released in June. The accompanying video for ‘Love Will Get You There’ sees the four band members – vocalist and guitarist Elijah Hewson, bassist Robert Keating, guitarist Josh Jenkinson and drummer Ryan McMahon – performing on a spoof Late Late Show alongside some very intriguing personalities and a game of Ready, Set, Gunge!

Cuts & Bruises features 11 tracks and was produced by Inhaler’s long term collaborator Antony Genn.

Following a run of festival dates this year, including their first Glastonbury performance and a homecoming gig in Dublin at the city’s Fairview Park; the indie-rock quartet are due to embark on a sold out run of four UK dates on October 15th - including a sold out show at The Roundhouse in London on October 19th.

In addition to their support slots next year with Harry Styles at Slane Castle and Sam Fender at St James Park, Inhaler have just been announced as special guests of Arctic Monkeys on their 2023 European tour. Fellow Irish act Fontaines D.C. will support their North American dates.
