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."

Dua Lipa celebrates five-night sold out stadium run with perfect pub act
Dua Lipa is ticking off life goals left, right and centre at the moment as the pop superstar celebrated five straight sold out stadium shows in England and Ireland. Having taken her Radical Optimism Tour to the UK, the 29-year-old songstress sold out Wembley Stadium twice, Liverpool's Anfield twice and Aviva Stadium in Dublin over the last week, continuing her wildly successful tour. And what better way to celebrate than with a well earned beverage. When in Ireland, you do as the Irish do and Dua took to social media as she downed a Guinness attempting to 'split the G'. '5 SOLD OUT STADIUMS IN A ROW!!!! ~ ONLY ONE WAY TO CELEBRATE!!!! BY SPLITTING THE G!!!!!!' she wrote on Instagram. While Aussies will be more accustomed to chugging the entire drink in one go like our late former Prime Minister Bob Hawke at the cricket, in Ireland, they take a more precision approach. 'Splitting the G' refers to drinking until the liquid perfectly cuts the G in Guinness on the glass in half, an act that Dua at the very least had an admirable attempt at. Although the origins of the trend are hazy at best, a Reddit thread claimed it came up in 2006 and was known as the Guinness Challenge, while others, including London pub Daffodil Mulligan claim that because no one can pinpoint the origin 'we're taking a small liberty in claiming it as an Irish tradition'. Whatever it is, the trend has become a viral sensation and a badge of honour for Guinness drinkers. There's even one pub owner in Galway who offers a free second pint to anyone who can 'split the G' on their first try on their first pint. However, one controversy has arisen about how much of the beverage should be consumed, with contention over whether it should be drunk until halfway down the G — as Dua did — or whether it's splitting the top of the G from the bottom of the harp in the Guinness logo. But most Dua Lipa fans were too busy celebrating the star's achievement — and her iconic celebration — to worry about that. 'Cannot deal with how iconic you are having a lock-in, in a Dublin pub immediately after a sell out stadium gig,' one fan commented. Guinness US posted: 'Congrats and sláinte!' Sláinte is Gaelic for 'health' and is a popular toast. 'Immaculate vibes as always,' another posted. A fourth added: 'Splitting the G after 5 sold out stadiums is top aura moments.' Others felt they needed to pop the bubble. 'You sadly did not split the g Dua,' one commented. 'Well done on the shows, but you're miles off splitting the G … just saying …' another said. Dua's tour has been going on since November last year, and she's due to hit Canada in September, followed by the major cities in the United States, and will finish up in Mexico City on December 5. The pop star already took Australia by storm with eight shows between Melbourne and Sydney back in March, where she made the most of her time Down Under. A-list star hits Aussie beach in tiny bikini VIEW GALLERY It's been an incredible year for Dua after she revealed she was engaged to British actor Callum Turner back in December. She only confirmed the rumour to British Vogue in June. 'Yes, we're engaged,' she told the magazine. 'It's very exciting.' The pair were first linked as a couple in January 2024 when they were spotted dancing the night away at his Masters of Air premiere afterparty in Los Angeles. Months later, they were photographed engaging in some PDA during a trip to New York City.

Tasman Keith covers Outkast 'B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)' for Like A Version
What's cooler than being cool? Tasman Keith running it up on a stone-cold Outkast classic in the Like A Version studio. From Atlanta to the streets of Eora, the Gumbaynggirr man brought his own powerful spin on the alternative hip-hop duo's iconic 2000 hit, 'B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)'. "I grew up loving this song and it was always in the list for when I would do Like A Version," he said. "For me, just with a lot going on right now here and everywhere, it just felt like what I needed and what I wanted to say in the moment. And also to be able to pen a verse after an Andre 3000 verse is a challenge, and I wanted to take that on." After starting with Andre's flow, Tasman took it in his own direction where he spat venom on things that were more intimate and personal to him. "Speak on, you know, freedom of my people, freedom of all people," he said. "Really putting us at the forefront. The favourite line of the band was the 'Weetbix and powdered milk' bar, when I brought that to rehearsal it was like 'yeah, that's the one'."
