Inhaler want to create “pop music that is also honest.”
His bandmate added in an interview with NME.
The group will be releasing their second album, “Cuts + Bruises”.

The “These Are The Days” hitmakers feel that many of the biggest bands in history were “pop bands,” and they are aware that going mainstream is crucial to finding enormous success.

Frontman Elijah Hewson said: Our thing is, ‘Why can’t we make pop music that is also authentic?’ A lot of people think that pop music is a scary, zeitgeisty thing that can make you lose your creativity, but Nirvana and The Beatles – all these great bands – were pop bands. We’re just being honest. Do you think Oasis didn’t want to be the biggest band in the world?”

His bandmate, drummer Ryan McMahon added in an interview with NME: “Why do we have to categorise ourselves or pigeonhole ourselves into this weird cult way? We want as many people as possible to hear us.”

The group, who are set to tour in support of Arctic Monkeys and Harry Styles this year, will be releasing their second album, “Cuts + Bruises,” next month. They intend to go all out for their live performances.

Elijah promised: “It’s going to be a better show. It’s not just five lads on stage chancing their arm anymore; we actually have to step up and make it a real thing.”

Bassist Robert Keating added: “We’re not here to be a mid-bill festival band – you have to keep pushing to the very top.”

But the ‘My Honest Face’ rockers won’t be partying hard while out on tour because they care so much about their careers.

Robert said: “There are a lot of bands that are ambitious for the wrong reasons. We don’t get on it or get hammered. Everything we do, we care about it and we think about it.”

Ryan added: “You see interviews with big artists from the ‘90s and they can’t remember anything from back in the day. We want to remember this, because it’s such an amazing thing to say we have done.”
