Inhaler, a band to keep an eye on!
Not everyone knows this, but the singer Eli
Hewson is the son of Paul Hewson—that is, of Bono Vox. Bono is the lead singer of U2, the Irish band that made music history. But this group has nothing to do with U2. None of the songs have been written or produced by Bono Vox. In fact, Eli’s parents weren’t happy with Eli’s decision to make music. They dreamed of a normal life for Eli: college and study. Then they understood that Eli was serious about a music career, and above all, they realised that the group has talent. Eli has a beautiful voice, and ... he doesn’t want to imitate his father!
Interesting fact! The band is called Inhaler. Do you know why? a [ ] Robert Keating and Ryan McMahon’s parents are doctors. b [ ] Josh and Ryan wanted to study medicine. c [ ] As a child, Eli suffered from asthma. Asthma sufferers regularly use an inhaler, a kind of spray. The answers are on page 14.

Inhaler come from Ireland, from Dublin. The band is made up of four twenty-year-old boys: Eli (Elijah) Hewson (vocals), Robert Keating (bass), Ryan McMahon (drums) and Josh Jenkinson (guitar). They met at school, and each of them has a great passion for music. They’ve been playing indie rock music since 2015, and they are already very good.
