Before the band formed, Austin Winkler sang in an Oklahoma City cover band until July 2001, when he met drummer Cody Hanson and guitarist Joe Garvey at a college party. Soon after meeting, the three formed Hinder and began performing at an Oklahoma City club called The Blue Note, building a local fan base. Profits from the shows went to advertising, as well as paying the expenses for the group's first release, an EP entitled Far from Close . The EP was released in 2003 on the independent label Brickden Records, and sold around 5,000 copies. Two years later, bassist Mike Rodden and rhythm guitarist Mark King joined the band. Winkler writes the majority of the band's music, along with drummer Cody Hanson.

Extreme Behavior : 2004–2007

In July, Hinder embarked on Nickelback 's Dark Horse Tour , which ran through Live Nation outdoor amphitheaters; other bands involved on the tour were Papa Roach and Saving Abel .

All American Nightmare : 2010–present

During early 2010, the band was engaged in writing and recording material for their third album, titled All American Nightmare . The album was released on December 7, 2010, with the first single, the title track, released on September 14, 2010. Although the album was originally planned to be produced by Howard Benson , Kevin Churko was later announced to be the producer.

Winkler said that the group started recording during the touring cycle for Take It To The Limit . “We wrote 70 or so songs, recorded about 50 and cut it down to 12," the singer explained. "It’s something that we’ve never done before, so it’s like our ultimate baby. A lot of the songs could be shit, too, we don’t know. You don’t really know until you put it out there and have more than two people’s opinion on it.” Both he and drummer Cody Hanson mentioned the song "Memory" as one that was a strong contender for the final cut. "It’s about being with your chick — the chick you’ve been with for a while, not some chick you’ve met on the road — and about being able to still have a good time with your wife or long-time girlfriend," said Hanson. "I’ve been in a relationship myself for nine years, so it was cool to write a song like that.” Hinder will also be at Bayfest 2011 on the Pepsi stage in Mobile, Alabama alongside local talents such as, Skrayp , and Top Of The Orange on October 8, 2011.

Live performances

Hinder have allegedly often sent scouts into the crowd at their concerts to pass out VIP passes to good-looking women.
