Inhaler Records began life following a drunken discussion between Myself and Ben Thomsett back in 2006. I had always wanted to start a label but for whatever reasons had never had the courage until meeting Ben. Little did I know at this point that he was an un-diagnosed sufferer of bi-polar disorder, a condition that leads to impulsive behaviour, delusions of grandeur and a complete disregard for financial matters - and for this very reason was the only person who would actually encourage me to enter in to an industry that is steadily going down the toilet!

Soon after we set the ball rolling, Robin Burns became involved...and not before time; a born worrier and the common sense of the label, it is Rob that keeps Ben and I in check when needed. All in all we are a good combination, with Bens reckless 'fuck it' attitude, Robs solid grounding, and my own obsessive music geek knowledge - all three members bring a unique facet to the inhaler table.

All we aim to do is to put out good music by people we like, there are no plans for world domination or the purchasing of sports cars and yachts. We do it because we love it, and we believe in the bands we work with..and that is pretty much it.
