Inhale Exhale was a christian metalcore outfit formed in Canton, Ohio, USA. They released four records: The Lost. The Sick. The Sacred in 2006, I Swear... in 2008, Bury Me Alive in 2009, and Movement in 2012. The band was formed in 2005 by Guitarist John LaRussa (formerly of Narcissus) and bassist Brian Pittman (formerly of Relient K). In 2006 they added vocalist Ryland Raus prior to the recording and release of their 2006 debut. They are currently signed to Solid State Records, a subsidiary of Tooth & Nail Records. In July 2007 the band announced through a blog on myspace that Brian Pittman was leaving for personal reasons: "After a lot of thought and consideration, Brian has decided to stay home. He will always have a place in Inhale Exhale, and we love him. But too many factors at home needed his attention. He is excited to be on a permanent break from music. He loves what he has done thus far in his career, but he needed to take care of some personal business." Jeremy Gifford replaced Brian on the bass guitar throughout the rest of 2007 playing on tour dates and recording with the band. He left the band in 2008 to play guitar for the band Lovedrug. A new Bass player was never officially announced, but Greg Smith was eventually confirmed as Bassist. On June 10, 2008 the band released their second album, "I Swear..." with the lead single "It's Myself Vs Being A Man". It was announced on the band's MySpace page on May 12 that they were working on new material and would be recording during the summer to release their next studio album in the fall. In the middle of July, the band confirmed that their next album would be called Bury Me Alive. On September 15, Inhale Exhale posted a new song on their MySpace page, and on October 6th, Bury Me Alive was released. On June 2, 2013, Inhale Exhale announced on their Facebook page that they were breaking up: "As of right now, after touring 10+ countries, releasing 4 studio albums internationally, and shooting videos and singles and all that goes along with being in this band, Inhale Exhale is coming to an end." They performed at the Alliance Festival on August 4, 2013 in Pittsburgh, PA along with Demon Hunter, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and others. Their final farewell show was performed in Canton, Ohio on October 19, 2013.
