Inhaler Are Blazing Their Way to Stardom
Playing blisteringly tight, searingly good, and crowd-drenching sweat-filled live sets were giving Dublin’s Inhaler an old-fashioned breakout-in-the-making buzz, that is until the pandemic put a halt to just about everything. They were on the eve of their biggest tour yet in America, set to play sold-out venues, extra added dates, and had landed a sweet spot at Southern California’s Ohana Festival, where they were going to take the stage a handful of acts before headliner Eddie Vedder, performing what could have been one of those legendary, L.A.-conquering performances that cemented things for them for years stateside. So, when the world stops for a once-in-a-century pandemic, what’s a live-loving, live-living, live-breathing band of 20 year-olds meant to do? Follow the rules, of course, a...

While details of this partnership have not been announced, Smith says he...
