Inside The Albums: Hinder – Back To Life & Extreme Behavior (feat. Cody Hanson of Hinder)

This week, I’m joined by Cody Hanson, drummer and founding member of Hinder, to celebrate the release of their brand-new album Back To Life and reflect on the 20th anniversary of their breakthrough debut, Extreme Behavior.

We dive deep into the evolution of Hinder’s sound over the past 20 years, the story behind their unreleased 2020 album, and the process of releasing Back To Life through Evil Teen Records.

Cody shares how music streaming platforms impact their album and single releases, the art of crafting setlists that balance hits, fan favorites, and new songs, and the band’s unique approach to cover songs, including Eddie Money’s “Take Me Home Tonight” and The Eagles’ “Life In The Fast Lane.”

He also weighs in on Lakeview’s viral cover of “Lips of An Angel” and reveals the five essential Hinder tracks he would put on his ultimate Hinder mixtape. Packed with stories, insights, and behind-the-scenes details, this episode is a must-listen for any Hinder fan.
