Drummer Bobby Poole II (formerly of the Christian ska band, BUCK Enterprises) and the band have split ways. The band, however, is still touring, despite the loss of their drummer.
At Cornerstone Festival 2007, Ryland Raus said that their new CD would be out in January 2008, but the title of the CD was not revealed. In one of the band's MySpace blogs, they announced about Brian Pittman, "New update folks. Well for those who saw us on the Rival Factions tour probably noticed that Brian was not on bass, maybe some didn't notice, but either way he wasn't. Some have heard that he has taken a break due to health reasons and personal. That is true. 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 to 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 get better and take care of some personal business." On June 10, 2008 the band released their second album, "I Swear..." with the lead single "It's Myself Vs Being A Man".
