Inhale/Exhale

Inhale/ Exhale is as straightforward as breathing itself. I Swear…, the Ohio band’s Solid State sophomore release, is refreshing in equal measure for its love of heavy diverse music as it is the depth to which it mines classic rock.

“We have our own style of rock,” states guitarist John Larussa, echoing a sentiment shared by singer Ryland Raus. “We feel that it’s structured well, and that it brings people in. We want someone to pop our disc in on the way to work if they need to hear something that will lift them up, and at the same time hear something with passion and raw energy.”

Thrash metal (including Bay Area legends Testament), singer-songwriters (ever heard of Johnny Cash?) and even a bit of country music informs what Inhale/ Exhale brings forth: emotionally moving but brutal tunes.

Best of all, Inhale/ Exhale’s songs make sense. The landscape is cluttered with bands who have no idea how to string their riffs together. In contrast they’ve gone to great lengths to structure things properly, and take their musicianship seriously.

Inhale Exhale formed from the minds of John LaRussa (Narcissus) and Brian Pitman (Relient K).

Recently signed to Solid State Records, they’ve finished up their first full length, The Lost, The SIck, The Sacred with producer Travis Wyrick (POD, Pillar).

The debut from this Ohio four-piece is refreshing in equal measure for its love of heavy, diverse music as it is for the depth to which it mines classic rock.
