Hinder (IPA: /ˈhɪndər/) is a American band from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma that was formed in 2001 by drummer Cody Hanson, guitar player Joe "Blower" Garvey, and Singer Austin Winkler. They released their first EP titled "Far From Close" on an independent record label, Brickden Records. It sold about 5,000 copies. The three members then began working on new material in 2004 for their next independent release. These demos caught the attention of several major record labels.

Hinder entered the rock scene with their debut single "Get Stoned". The band then toured in support of their album, 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 "Better Than Me".

After being offered record deals by Atlantic, Roadrunner, and Universal Records, Hinder signed with Universal records in 2005. 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]} 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.

"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. They re-wrote portions of the songs to fit their sound and style and decided to use it on the album.

As a Christmas gift to the Hinder Army, the fanclub, Hinder recorded "A Little Drummer Boy" and released it to the members of the Hinder Army, through http://www.thehinderarmy.com

In October of 2007, Hinder released their limited edition cd/dvd of Extreme Behavior entitled "You Can't Make This Sh*t Up".

In 2007, Hinder received Oklahoma's Rising Star Award.

Announced on their tour and in several interviews, a new album is in the works, with a song titled "Thing for You," which was performed at their July 14th show in Chesaning, Michigan, along with a cover of the Steppenwolf song "Born to Be Wild." They played the song "Running in the Rain," which was cut from the US release of "Extreme Behavior," and they also played the new song called "Heaven Lost You"

According to an interview on the website Ultimate-Guitar, Hinder are expected to return to the studio to record their new album in January 2008.
