Extreme Behavior by Hinder
Extreme Behavior is an album by Hinder, released in 2005. 5 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 18 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Lips of an Angel”, on 8 lists with a best position of #4.
Extreme Behavior was the first full-length from Hinder, an Oklahoma City outfit fronted by Austin John Winkler, and it's a hard rock record built for arena lighters and late-night radio alike. Winkler and drummer Cody Hanson wrote the bulk of the band's material, and every song here was co-written with Brian Howes, who helped buff the choruses to a high shine. Guitarist Joe Garvey, bassist Mike Rodden and guitarist Mark King fill out the lineup.
The formula is simple and loud: chunky riffs, Winkler's raspy bellow and hooks sanded smooth for the airwaves. The ballad "Lips of an Angel" gave the album its signature moment, while "Get Stoned" and "How Long" carried the harder edge. Reviews ran from lukewarm to hostile, but the record kept moving anyway, and by January 2008 the RIAA had certified it triple platinum.
