Hinder

Hinder is an American rock band from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. They formed in 2005 and they were immediately signed to an independent label, and released their first EP. It sold about 5,000 copies. This EP came to the attention 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 monthly Launch "Who's Next" contest for emerging bands.[citation needed] Their Brian Howes and Mike Fraser produced album, Extreme Behavior, was then set for release in the United States. The single "Get Stoned" from Extreme Behavior was also released on iTunes as a free Single of the Week in August 2005.

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 2006.[1] Hinder jumped on to the rock scene with their debut single "Get Stoned". The band then toured in support of Extreme Behavior. The band's second single, "Lips of an Angel", did far better on the charts, hitting #1 on several, and garnered international attention. "Lips of an Angel" is now being covered by country artist Jack Ingram. The band's third single from their debut album is "How Long". The fourth single is called "Better Than Me".

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.

"Extreme Behavior" track "Shoulda" was originally written and recorded by Canadian band Social Code for their "A Year At The Movies" album, but was scrapped when finalising the album. The song was brought to Hinder by Universal when trying to finish up their album.
