Inhaler / Chruchkey, 2010

A quirky name for some quirky – in a stripped-down, angular, energetic and hip way – indie rock. The North Carolina trio’s debut lands somewhere between garage and college rock, somewhere between the edgy drive of Jawbox and the catchy nerdishness of Weezer – and was produced by Jawbox’s J. Robbins, no less.
