Cuts & Bruises is the second studio album by Irish rock band Inhaler. It was released on 17 February 2023 by Polydor Records. Work for Cuts & Bruises began while touring for their debut album It Won't Always Be Like This in early 2022. Of the process, band member Elijah Hewson told Billboard: "I think we learned a lot of lessons on [It Won't Always Be Like This], and I think when we came into the second we had a better picture of how we wanted to do things. I think the main thing we said is we wanted less information, to let the songs breathe a bit. I think we were just more confident, and you don’t have to add as much if you are confident in the songs and material. And that was the basis of what we went off and I think it guided us pretty well".
