Inhaler - My Honest Face
One of my favorite new bands is a Dublin group named 'Inhaler'. The band's singer is the son of U2's Bono, but they aren't leaning on that connection to make a name for themselves. They've become an accomplished band on their own, securing a record deal and touring on the strength of their first batch of songs.
While singer Eli Hewson sounds very much like a twenty-year old Bono, the band have their own distinct sound. It's reminiscent of early U2 and other 80's post-punk rock, but skillfully updated for the modern age. Perhaps the best example of this is the band's latest single "My Honest Face".
The B-side for this single is not to be missed either. It's a slow, crawling piece with a cool bass part best experienced with headphones or good speaker. It kind of reminds me of Massive Attack or perhaps even Radiohead. Titled "There's No Other Place", it can be found on Spotify or you can check it out on YouTube below.
Then check out this great live performance of "My Honest Face" from BBC Scotland. You can really tell Eli is Bono's son! They are already very good live.
