Hinder won't hold back on entertaining fans, having fun
Boston Globe, MA

....On the phone with [Austin] Winkler, speaking from an Indiana tour stop, he is reassuring that the four-year-old group has no plans to drown in its success....
....Winkler says, as musicians, as opposed to rock stars, Hinder is looking for more than a good time. While there are comic and occasionally knuckleheaded sentiments on Extreme Behavior, Winkler and co-writer Hanson are serious about their songwriting....
"You know what? It all comes down to the fans, anyway. We write for the fans, and we write for us...."
One group of fans in particular has Winkler and Hanson working hard on the next album. They opened three shows recently for Aerosmith. "It was definitely like going back to school. It was very, very fun," says Winkler, still sounding a bit awed.
So did the original, now sober, bad boys of rock offer up any pearls of wisdom?
"They just said keep up the good work, so that's what we're going to try to do."
