History
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" and the fifth is "Homecoming Queen."
Extreme Behavior: 2005-Present
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

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

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.

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 "Haven't
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.
