Hinder is an American rock band from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, formed in 2001 by lead singer Austin John Winkler, guitarist Joe “Blower” Garvey, and drummer Cody Hanson. Bassist Cole Parker joined in 2002 during the recording of their debut EP Far from Close. After Parker’s departure in 2003, the band recruited bassist Mike Rodden and former guitarist Mark King in 2004. The band released four studio albums with Winkler: Extreme Behavior (2005), Take It to the Limit (2008), All American Nightmare (2010), Welcome to the Freakshow (2012). Hanson and Winkler wrote the majority of the material on these first four albums. After Winkler left the band in 2013, Hinder searched for a new vocalist and eventually added Marshal Dutton. With Dutton, they released When the Smoke Clears (2015) and The Reign (2017). Hinder was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in 2007. The band’s latest album, Back to Life, was released on May 23, 2025 via Evil Teen Records, marking their first new album in seven years. Before forming Hinder, Austin John Winkler sang in an Oklahoma City cover band until July 2001. He met drummer Cody Hanson and guitarist Joe Garvey at a college party, and the three soon formed the band. Hanson later said he was “blown away” by Winkler’s charisma and distinctive voice. After recruiting bassist Cole Parker, the band recorded a four‑track demo featuring: “Someday”, “Like Me”, “Broken”, “Worthless Home”. “Someday” and “Broken” were later re‑recorded for the Far from Close EP. “Like Me” and “Worthless Home” remain unreleased outside the original demo discs, though they can now be found on YouTube.
