Hinder

Hinder is an American rock band that burst onto the scene in the mid-2000s with a sound built on gritty guitar riffs, arena-ready hooks, and unapologetically brash rock energy. The Oklahoma-formed group became a staple of post-grunge and hard rock radio, best known for their breakout hit "Lips of an Angel," a power ballad that showcased a softer, more melodic side of the band and became a massive crossover success.

Beyond their chart-topping single, Hinder built a reputation as a high-energy live act, drawing on influences from 2000s hard rock and hair metal-inspired swagger to deliver shows packed with big choruses and crowd-pleasing anthems. Their catalog blends rowdy rock anthems with introspective ballads, giving them staying power with fans who grew up on 2000s rock radio. The band has continued to tour and perform for audiences who crave that raw, riff-driven rock sound with a nostalgic edge.
