Inhaler are an Irish rock band, consisting of Elijah Hewson, Robert Keating, Josh Jenkinson and Ryan McMahon; a group of friends-turned-band-mates, originating from Dublin. The band already have a long list of impressive achievements under their belt: the group’s debut album ‘It Won’t Always be Like This’ topped the charts in both the UK and Ireland in 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. 2022 saw them touring internationally, securing impressive spots at Glastonbury & Lollapalooza, as well as supporting the Arctic Monkeys. In 2023 the band released their extremely successful sophomore album ‘Cuts & Bruises’ and enjoyed a huge sell-out tour of the US, as well as even more Arctic Monkeys support slots and massive outdoor shows as special guest support to both Harry Styles and Sam Fender.

The group ended a brilliant (and incredibly busy!) 2023 in triumphant style with a huge sold-out homecoming show at Dublin Arena.

2024 promises to be the bands biggest year yet!

benches is a Southern California group consisting of Anson Kelley (vocals/guitar), Ethan Bowers (drums), Evan Ojeda (lead guitar), and Charlie Baird (bass). Reminiscent of both the ceremonious majesty of 90’s Britpop and the insouciance of 2000’s NY rock, the band’s heart is rooted in defining the sound of bittersweet: A blend of joy and sadness, wrapped up into infectious indie rock. 

Unabashedly celebrating the naivete of youth, and the excitement and worries that come with getting older, Anson Kelley frequently draws inspiration from the travails of navigating a society where norms are exploded daily, and the chaotic backdrop is full of hurdles to your sanity – from evolving technology to fragmenting social relationships.

Following the success of earlier singles such as Angry Lizard Noise and Monodrama benches worked with Grammy-nominated producer Martin Cooke on increasingly complex and nuanced songs, resulting in the release of  3 tracks in 2022, including the standout Violent.  They’re currently finishing an EP to be released this Summer to coincide with upcoming tour dates.

The band have played with notable acts such as Foster The People, Dave Keuning (The Killers) and Louis XIV, and previously toured the US with Ultra Q, I Don’t Know How But They Found Me and The Red Pears.
