In the midst of their Open Wide world tour, Inhaler return with ‘Hole In the Ground’<\/p>\n
Inhaler<\/a> have released their new single ‘Hole In The Ground’.<\/p>\n The new track follows the release of the Dublin band’s third album Open Wide<\/em><\/a>, released earlier this year. The band have spent much of 2025 on tour, performing across the world, including performances at Glastonbury and Electric Picnic.<\/p>\n ‘Hole In the Ground’ was recorded over the summer with Grammy award-winning record producer Kid Harpoon<\/a> at Abbey Road Studios. The track first premiered at the band’s Liverpool Arena show last week.<\/p>\n \u201cTo us, \u2018Hole In The Ground\u2019 is a song that was born out of our stream of consciousness. Some time away from writing allowed us to go into the studio with a sort of blank slate which felt inspiring,\u201d frontman Eli Hewson says.<\/p>\n \u201cIt can be hard to talk about the meaning of our own songs sometimes but we see it as something fragile growing amongst a wreckage. Or that last blurry memory you have of a person. It\u2019s sort of a meditation on hope and keeping yourself awake to life.”<\/p>\n ‘Hole In The Wall’ stays true to the group’s classic indie-rock melodrama, with sad 80s-sounding instrumentals suggesting an influence from the likes of The Smiths and The Pixies. The lyrics discuss themes of yearning as melodies ache with every note.<\/p>\n The group originally formed while attending school together at St. Andrews in Blackrock – with guitarist Josh Jenkinson<\/a> joining the lineup in 2015. They’ve gone on to support acts such as Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds<\/a>, Arctic Monkeys<\/a>, Harry Styles<\/a> and Pearl Jam.<\/a><\/p>\n Additionally, their debut album, It Won\u2019t Always Be Like This<\/em>, hit #1 in the UK and Ireland, while their 2023 follow-up,
Cuts & Bruises<\/em>, topped the Irish charts and reached #2 in the UK.<\/p>\n
