Hinder is a hard rock group inspired by post-grunge music that was formed in Oklahoma City in July 2001 when guitarist Joe Garvey and drummer Cody Hanson discovered Austin Winkler singing for a cover band at a college dorm party.
The band is notably influenced both by 90s post-grunge as well as by 80s dirty hard rock and glam metal, with several critics noting their debt to Guns N’ Roses.
The band was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in 2007. After the release of ‘Take It To The Limit’ in 2008 and ‘All American Nightmare’ in 2010.
