The band is notably influenced both by 90s post-grunge as well as by 80s dirty hard rock and glam metal, with several critics noting their debt to Guns n' Roses. Cut to almost five years later after Winkler met the guys, and Hinder built a healthy regional following. They released an independent album, titled 'Far From Close', which sold out several thousands of copies. The band was the object of an honest-to-goodness bidding war between three different major labels that resulted in its major label debut, titled 'Extreme Behavior', coming out to much commercial success in 2005.
True to the group's origins in Austin Winkler's cover band, Hinder has released several covers of songs that have inspired the band. Examples include "Bed of Roses" (by Bon Jovi), "Born to be Wild" (by Steppenwolf), "Take Me Home Tonight" (by Eddie Money), and "Thunderstruck" (by AC/DC). Their debut album included the huge hit (and perhaps their best known original song) "Lips Of An Angel", and said album has been triple-platinum certified by the RIAA.
Although receiving mixed to negative critical reviews for 'Extreme Behavior', setting up a pattern for them as being critical whipping boys, "Lips of an Angel" was a rock smash. It topped both the Top 40 Pop Radio Chart and the Digital Download Chart, also putting the group on the top of multiple radio, video and digital charts including Yahoo, iTunes, and MSN. Facing near impossible expectations put on them, with rambunctious live performances stoking the flames, Hinder's sophomore album, 'Take It To The Limit', proved somewhat of a commercial disappointment by comparison. However, the group still moved hundreds of thousands of records and featured a strong glam metal-esque sound that many fans loved.
The band was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in 2007. After the release of 'Take It To The Limit' in 2008 and 'All American Nightmare' in 2010, though, issues between frontman Winkler and the rest of the band had taken their toll. Finally, on November 20, 2013, it was announced via Loudwire that the band had parted ways with Winkler, the statement saying that there was no animosity towards him but that they just felt it was time to move on. The former Hinder singer has had struggles placing him in rehab before. Saving Abel’s Jared Weeks has often played with the re-jiggered group, and their future is somewhat uncertain though with more studio material promised as of early 2015 (with ex-producer Marshal Dutton being their current singer).

Anyone But You
Hinder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before I showed up here drunk and all
Messed up from the last time we talked
When you hung up on me
It’s Saturday, it’s three a.m.
But I’m not sorry that I’m here again
And I’m going crazy thinking you’re with him
You alone for another minute
In that bed without me in it
I've tried all there is to try
I’m not ever saying a lie
To make myself believe in something
I know isn’t true
I've drank all there is to drink
I've thought all there is to think
I’ll disappear forever, if you want me to
And I’ll find somebody new
But I can’t love anyone but you
Oooh
Anyone but you
(I can’t love anyone)
I know you said we need a little break
But that was six months ago, yesterday
And it ain’t like I counted the days
But I can’t take one more
That’s why I’m out here in the rain
That’s why I’m willing to take the blame
That’s why I only ever wanna say your name
I've tried all there is to try
I’m not ever saying a lie
To make myself believe in something
I know isn’t true
I've drank all there is to drink
I've thought all there is to think
I’ll disappear forever, if you want me to
And I’ll find somebody new
But I can’t love anyone but you
(Anyone but you)
If this is want you want
Then look me in the eye
But I’m praying you won’t
Say your last goodbye
I've tried all there is to try
I’m not ever saying a lie
To make myself believe in something
I know isn’t true
I've drank all there is to drink
I've thought all there is to think
I’ll disappear forever, if you want me to
And I’ll find somebody new
But I can’t love anyone but you
(I can’t love anyone)
Ooh
(I can’t love anyone)
Anyone but you
(I can’t love anyone)
(I can’t love anyone)
Anyone but you
You said we need a little break
But that was six months ago, yesterday
I can’t love anyone but you

Line by Line Meaning
Sorry I didn’t call
Before I showed up here drunk and all
Messed up from the last time we talked
When you hung up on me
I acknowledge that I behaved poorly the last time we talked, and I came here intoxicated without notice. I understand that you might still be upset with me.
It’s Saturday, it’s three a.m.
But I’m not sorry that I’m here again
And I’m going crazy thinking you’re with him
And I don’t wanna leave
I understand that it's late, but I can't help but come here hoping to see you. I'm afraid that you might be with someone else, which is driving me insane, and I'm not ready to leave yet.
You alone for another minute
In that bed without me in it
I can't bear the thought of you being alone for another minute in bed without me. I want to be with you right now.
I've tried all there is to try
I’m not ever saying a lie
To make myself believe in something
I know isn’t true
I've drank all there is to drink
I've thought all there is to think
I’ll disappear forever, if you want me to
And I’ll find somebody new
But I can’t love anyone but you
I've exhausted all options and tried everything I could to mend things between us. I'm not being insincere, and I'm not making empty promises. I'll disappear from your life if that's what you want me to do, and I'll try to find someone else to love. But the truth is, I can't love anyone but you.
I know you said we need a little break
But that was six months ago, yesterday
And it ain’t like I counted the days
But I can’t take one more
That’s why I’m out here in the rain
That’s why I’m willing to take the blame
That’s why I only ever wanna say your name
I understand that we decided to take a break, but it's been six months, and I can't handle it anymore. I didn't count the days, but I do know that I can't take it anymore. That's why I'm here in the rain, willing to take responsibility for my mistakes. It's also the reason I can only think of you and say your name.
If this is want you want
Then look me in the eye
But I’m praying you won’t
Say your last goodbye
If you want to break up with me, please have the courage to look me in the eye and tell me. But I'm hoping that you won't give me our last goodbye.
You said we need a little break
But that was six months ago, yesterday
I can’t love anyone but you
I can't love anyone but you, and I can't continue this break that has taken too long to end. I need you to be with me.
