Lebanese post-hardcore outfit GLIDDEEE has returned with their blistering new single “INHALER,” a raw and uncompromising track released ahead of their debut EP ‘Kinetic Flaw’. Written by vocalist Marco Bazerji, the song serves as a claustrophobic journey through sickness and isolation, set against a worldview of inherent hostility. The track opens with a grainy, mechanical sample of a camera mimicking a CPAP machine, immediately plunging the listener into a world where breathing is a struggle. Blending the grittiest elements of shoegaze, noise-punk, and post-rock, “INHALER” captures the volatile instability of life in Lebanon, moving from “chest-stabbing” guitar work to fragile moments of clarity that are ultimately shattered by a thumping, protesting heartbeat of bass and drums.
Since their debut with “SUPERTASTEUR,” the Beirut-based quartet has built a reputation for abrasive, emotive soundscapes and unpredictable live energy, notably opening “Dajjeh,” Lebanon’s premier underground punk showcase. Recorded at Tunefork Studios by Joy Moughanni, the new material intentionally rejects polished production in favor of a dirty, grounded sound reminiscent of classic punk ethics. With the full EP ‘Kinetic Flaw’ arriving by the end of 2025, GLIDDEEE is positioning themselves as a vital voice in the Middle Eastern alternative scene. Their music acts as a visceral mirror to internal and external conflict, reminding the listener what it truly means to fight for air in a space that feels like it’s slipping between crisis and destruction.
