There are at least two artists using the name Hinder:
1) Hinder is the name of a lo-fi breakcore/noise artist who has released six albums on New Zealand net-label God Rekidz.
2) Hinder more commonly refers to an alternative rock band that was formed in Oklahoma City more than four years ago, when guitarist Joe Garvey and drummer Cody Hanson discovered Austin Winkler singing for a cover band at a college dorm party. “I heard him and was blown away,” says Cody. “He has the kind of charisma very few people have and that unique voice. You can’t really compare him to anybody.”
Indeed, it is Winkler who infuses Hinder’s often-bitter sentiments of regret and forgetting the past on songs like the tongue-in-cheek “Bliss” and “Better Than Me” with flesh-and-blood humanity. “It’s more about getting things off our chests,” he says. “And it’s lyrics you can understand, not this dark sh-t.”
The band—also featuring guitarist Mark King and bassist Mike Rodden—often overturns expectations, especially on “Get Stoned,” which, rather than the party anthem its title implies, is really a song about not being able to leave your pain-in-the-ass girlfriend because “the sex is so much better when you’re mad at me.”
Cut to almost five years later and the band has built a healthy regional following, released an independent album, Far From Close, which sold out 5,000 copies, was the object of an honest-to-goodness bidding war between three different major labels that resulted in its major label debut, Extreme Behavior.
