Indie,Folk,Rock and Alternative: Hinder

Hinder is one band that has been around for a decade now, they just completed ten years this year.
They have had plenty of hits in their early days, thanks to songs like,
"Lips Of An Angel" and "Better than Me"

Here's the acoustic version of "Lips Of An Angel"



Their greatest strength as a band is obviously the lyrics, and the great variety in their music. They have dabbled in Metal & Post-Grunge besides Rock genres and thanks to Winkler's awesome and versatile vocals, almost every song sounds genuine.

Although most of their music relates to "Love and the Hurt that accompanies it", like "Bliss"


"Jealousy and Pain" like "How Long"


but they also have some inspirational songs , somewhat like Nicky Sixx.
"Whatcha Gonna Do", from their latest album.


All these might have created an air of seriousness around Hinder, but as I said they are quite versatile.
Sample this one, "Put That Record On"


"By the time that the songs came on we were stoned out of our minds I know it's only rock and roll but it's the soundtrack of our lives 
And no matter how crazy life gets I can feel right at home sweet home
Everytime I put that record on

The first time I got a whole lotta love I wanted a whole lot more
In the back seat baby made me feel like maybe we were knocking on heavens door
Walk this way still to this day makes me wanna drink all night long
Everytime I put that record on

Turn turn turn it up loud light you one up and pass it around
The song remains the same as life goes on and on and on yeah
Turn turn turn the page were back to that first time and place 
When you felt like you were living in that song
Put that record on

Life's been a crazy train barely kept it on the tracks
If you think it's the same that I act this way blame it on back in black 
Thought I did everything I did and I forget what I done wrong
Everytime I put that record on

Turn turn turn it up loud light you one up and pass it around
The song remains the same as life goes on and on and on yeah
Turn turn turn the page were back to that first time and place 
When you felt like you were living in that song
Put that record on

Let it play
Take me back 
To yesterday
Come on baby sing

Turn turn turn it up loud light you one up and pass it around
The song remains the same as life goes on and on and on yeah
Turn turn turn the page were back to that first time and place 
When you felt like you were living in that song
Put that record on "
It's probably the story of every Rock fan.
