🔥 The New Era:
- Their explosive new single "Bring Me Back to Life" and why they scrapped an entire album during the pandemic for being "inauthentic"
- How Hinder is evolving their sound—blending modern hard rock with their signature edge while avoiding nostalgia traps
🎸 20 Years of "Lips of an Angel":
- Reflecting on the legacy of their era-defining hit and what it means to celebrate its 20th anniversary
- The band’s journey from early-2000s success to maintaining relevance in today’s rock scene
🤘 Why Hinder is EMO (Yes, Really):
- The "divorced dad rock" label, genre-blurring with country influences, and why emo/punk fans now embrace their emotional lyrics
- Cody’s take on Nashville’s songwriting scene and collaborations with artists like Chad Kroeger (Nickelback)
🚀 What’s Next:
- Upcoming festival appearances (Louder Than Life, Aftershock) and why they’re done "replicating the past"
