Behind Inhaler's cover of Kavinsky 'Nightcall' for Like A Version
It may have been a swift all-in decision for Inhaler to cover Kavinsky's 'Nightcall', actually building their take on it took a little more legwork. "When we first attacked it, Josh (Jenkinson, guitar and keys) had a kind of plan of what we were going to do and he'd sketch it out on his computer," vocalist Elijah Hewson said. "Then we went to playing it and it just felt we would usually do if we did a cover of a song. "So it went through a lot of different versions and we ended up with this stripped back thing where it's just me and Josh playing at the beginning and stagger things coming in." Paring the crunchy French house track right back allowed the Irish band to uncover its emotional roots. "I think that when we pulled things out and gave the song a bit of space I feel like it kind of revealed itself to be a bit more emotional and have a bit more weight to it as well," bassist Robert Keating said. Inhaler really made this one even more perfect for late night solo drives, didn't they. Posted 28m ago 28 minutes ago Thu 19 Jun 2025 at 10:30pm

Inhaler cover Kavinsky 'Nightcall' for Like A Version
Pick up the phone, Inhaler is dialling in with their debut Like A Version, taking on Kavinsky's 'Nightcall'. Or you might know it best as the theme from the 2011 film, Drive . Steering the track away from its gritty French house foundations, the Irish band shifted into gear and transformed it into an indie anthem. The ability to make that work is impressive, really. "I think because it was a movie soundtrack, that kind of felt different to covering just a normal pop song," singer Elijah Hewson said. "That made us kind of lean into it a bit." The band's been testing the waters with their fans by playing the original track over the speakers before their sets recently, a bit of subliminal messaging for what they were planning to cover. "We almost don't overthink these kind of covers for better or for worse," bassist Robert Keating said. "But it's nice to try and be out of your comfort zone sometimes. And I think that when we pulled things out and gave the song a bit of space I feel like it kind of revealed itself to be a bit more emotional and have a bit more weight to it as well." A ripper debut in the Like A Version archives from Inhaler. Pure class. Check out more from their visit to the studios below.

Bono's son Elijah Hewson says it 'shouldn't be controversial' to stand up for children in Gaza
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Bono's son Elijah Hewson has said "it shouldn't be controversial" to stand up for the rights of children "being bombed" in Gaza. The second youngest son of the U2 rock star and his wife Ali Hewson was performing with his band Inhaler at St Anne's Park on Friday night. Speaking to the crowd, Eli said: "It shouldn't be controversial to stand up for the rights of kids that are being bombed in Gaza. "We stand with the people of Palestine tonight. Any kids that are being murdered for the sake of any ideology is wrong." Crowds cheered as the band then continued to perform. It comes in the wake of Belfast rappers Kneecap's advocacy for Palestine came under intense scrutiny after they used a performance at the Coachella festival in California last month to denounce Israeli attacks on Gaza. A video emerged from a November 2023 gig appearing to show one of the trio saying: "The only good Tory is a dead Tory." Last month, Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, 27, was charged by the Metropolitan Police after the incident on 21 November 2024 at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, London. Mr Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, 18 June. In a statement posted on social media, Kneecap previously said: "We deny this 'offence' and will vehemently defend ourselves. "This is political policing. This is a carnival of distraction. 14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us."
