Hinder is a hard rock group inspired by post-grunge music that was formed in Oklahoma City in July 2001 when guitarist Joe Garvey and drummer Cody Hanson discovered Austin Winkler singing for a cover band at a college dorm party.

Rex, Electric Light Orchestra, Blondie, The Beach Boys, Built to Spill), Hindershot boasts a repertoire of post-whatever jams you can actually dance to. With lyrical content ranging from the mundane and light-hearted (inhalers, insects, and oscillating fans) to the grandiose and grim (black holes, death, and men with guns during the Democratic National Convention), songwriter Stuart Confer weaves a complex, mythologized autobiography through details and metaphor.
