Muzaks! Hinder

While at first glance at the content of some of Hinder's song they may look like a generic rock band with songs about sex, love and rock n' roll.

However when you listen to a few of their tracks it really hits you that they are rather unique in their writing. The lyrics are all very entertaining, either funny or thought provoking, and are in no way as generic as you might expect.

There are two very good examples of this.

Room21 is a song about a man meeting a girl in a bar and hooking up with her for the night. It is described in a very funny manner and has a very entertaining thread throughout

Lips of an Angel is about a man who is in a relationship but is still in love with his ex, as she is with him, and I am fairly sure that a lot of us know that feeling rather well... The entire song is very heartfelt and one can only assume that some part of it at least is written from real-life experience.

These two songs are favourites of mine and even if you don't have any interest in Rock you should have a listen to them, at least to appreciate the lyrics.
