Hinder is a pop rock group signed under Universal Records. They are of a post-grunge style, with many influences from classic rock bands, such as Guns & Roses. The band formed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 2002, when guitarist Joe Garvey and drummer Cody Hanson discovered Austin Winkler singing for a cover band. Cody says he was "blown away" and "has the kind of charisma very few people have and that unique voice. You can't really compare him to anybody." The band was then formed as what would be Hinder.
They were immediately signed to an independent label, and released their first EP, Far From Close. It sold about 5,000 copies. This EP landed into the ears of Universal Records, in which Hinder was introduced into a major record label contract. Although All Music Guide called Extreme Behavior one of the year's worst albums, throughout 2005, the album was heavily anticipated, and Hinder won the monthy Launch! "Who's Next" contest for emerging bands. Their Brian Howes and Mike Fraser produced album, Extreme Behavior, was then set for release in the US.
Since then, the band has toured with Theory of a Deadman as well as with Three Days Grace. In the Summer of '06 they opened for Godsmack and also toured with Nickelback, Hoobastank and Chevelle, Staind, and Shinedown. Hinder is currently on tour with Burden Brothers and Black Stone Cherry. The band played three dates with the mega rock band Aerosmith in December of '06. Skillet was originally going to join them on the tour but Hinder turned them down after finding out they are a Christian band. "[1]" Hinder jumped on to the rock scene with the single, "Get Stoned". The band then toured in support of Extreme Behavior. The band's second single, "Lips of an Angel", became a smash hit as the song made its way up the charts and the band received nationwide attention. "Lips of an Angel" is now being covered by country artist Jack Ingram, whose next album is tentatively called "Riding Coattails." The band's third single from their debut album became "How Long". Rehearsals.com is showing several video performances of these singles. Hinder Video Performances at rehearsals.com. [1]
The fourth single has been confirmed to be "Better Than Me" as confirmed by an interview with Mark King.
"Well, hopefully late next year. Depends on how the next singles do. The next single is How Long and then we’ll come back with “Better Than Me”. citation needed]
On December 22, 2006 Hinder released an acoustic version of the Christmas carol "Little Drummer Boy" to the members of the Hinder Army, their online fan club.
