Don't get me wrong. These guys aren't derivative. But Inhaler has the sophistication of the Strokes.
My song of the day, their "Cheer Up Baby," is pure and masterful rock--the kind that cleans out your head like a sonic Q-tip. The guitar riff is easy and abbreviated in manner of punk, which contrasts with a wall of sound so dense I have to listen hard to find the bass. And I play bass!
P.S.--I had the impulse to note that Inhaler's lead singer sounded like Bono of U2, but then I second-guessed myself. Come to find out, guitarist Eliza Hewson is none other than Bono's son.
