  <bio>Post-grunge rockers Hinder got started in the early 2000s in Oklahoma City, where Joe Garvey and drummer Cody Hanson found Austin Winkler singing cover songs at a college party. The three formed the nucleus of Hinder, and started landing gigs opening locally for acts like Theory of a Deadman. Lineup changes brought on guitarist Mark King and bassist Mike Rodden, and after an initial, self-released EP the quintet signed with Universal for their 2005 full-length debut, Extreme Behavior. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide</bio>
