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 Abelās 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).

Hinder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sun was shining and I finally OK
I had a taste of the happy life that we had yesterday
But that all changed,
When I saw your car parked at the Super 8
Then the wind picked up and my love turned into rage
How could you make me hate you
How could you make me want to
Throw it all away and hurt you
Now I'm hopeless, broken down and bruised
I'm tired of being takin' I'm past the point of breakin'
Now I've got nothing left to lose
I Shoulda known, by the way you whispered when you were on the phone
But I let it go
'Cause you swore that my love was all you've ever known
But You lied and told me everything would be alright
I might of walked away, but now I want to fight
How could you make me hate you
You shoulda told the truth
How could you make me want to
Throw it all away to hurt you
Now I'm Hopeless, broken down and bruised
Im tired of being takin' I'm past the point of breakin'
Now I've got nothing left to lose
I've got nithing to lose, I've goit nothin to lose
I'm Breakin', I'm on the edge,
I'm shakin', I can't take it
I'm Breakin', I'm on the edge,
I'm shakin', I can't take it
How could you make me hate you
You shoulda told the truth
How could you make me want to
Throw it all away to hurt you
Now I'm Hopeless, Broken down and bruised
I'm tired of being takin' I'm past the point of breaking
Now I've got nothing left to lose
Yeah I got nothing to lose
I've got nothin
I've got nothin
Nothing to lose
The song tells the story of a man who finds out that his partner has been cheating on him. The opening lines suggest that the day started off well, with the sun shining and the man feeling okay, having had a taste of the happy life they had shared the day before. However, the man's feelings change as he sees his partner's car parked at the Super 8 motel. The wind picks up in a metaphor for the storm of emotions that the man feels - from happiness to anger, as his love turns into rage, and he realizes that his partner has been unfaithful to him.
The chorus captures the man's sense of betrayal and the hurt he is feeling. He wonders how his partner could make him hate her and throw it all away. He is hopeless, broken down, and bruised, having been taken for a ride by someone he trusted. The second verse highlights the man's sense of disappointment in himself for ignoring the signs - he should have known that something was up when his partner whispered on the phone. However, he let it go because he believed that his love was all she had ever known. The man is angry and feels like he has been deceived as his partner lied to him, telling him that everything would be alright.
Overall, "Nothing Left to Lose" is a passionate and emotional rock ballad that explores the themes of betrayal and heartbreak. The lyrics reveal the pain of a man who has been cheated on by someone he loved and trusted, leaving him with nothing to lose.
