Hinder
Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre — West Valley City, UT

Hinder came up in the mid-2000s Oklahoma hard rock scene with a sound that split the difference between post-grunge heaviness and radio-friendly hooks. They broke through with 'Lips of an Angel' in 2006, a song that somehow managed to be about infidelity while getting stuck in your head for days. The band built a steady touring career through the late 2000s and 2010s, releasing albums that leaned into the melodic side of hard rock without completely abandoning the heavier elements. Their appeal was always straightforward: solid riffs, singalong choruses, and lyrics about relationships and regret that resonated with the Creed and Nickelback crowd. They never became huge, but they maintained a solid fanbase of people who appreciated straightforward hard rock that didn't require a decoder ring.

Hinder shows are built around their catalog of radio hits. Crowds know every word to 'Lips of an Angel' and the band feeds off that recognition. Energy is steady rather than explosive—lots of singing along, standard rock setlist pacing. They're reliable, unpretentious, and exactly what you'd expect.

Known for Lips of an Angel, Better Than Me, Use Me, Catch Me When I Fall, Without You

Hinder rolled through Salt Lake City on January 16, 2024, hitting The Depot with the kind of set that reminded people why they'd bothered learning the words to 'Lips of an Angel' in the first place. The Oklahoma rock outfit spent their time working through the hits—that particular track got its due, obviously—while the crowd did what crowds do when a band that soundtracked your mid-2000s shows up to play the songs you actually remember. The Depot, nestled in the heart of the city's Railroad District, proved once again that it's the kind of venue where touring rock bands still find an audience willing to sing along to choruses they probably haven't heard in a decade.

Salt Lake City's rock scene has always been pragmatic about its heroes. The city's music venues—from intimate clubs to mid-sized theaters like The Depot—tend to book bands that understand their audience doesn't need irony or apology. Hard rock and post-grunge acts find a steady foothold here, where the audience treats a solid chorus like a contractual obligation to participate. It's not a scene that chases trends; it's one that respects craft and doesn't overthink the job of a three-minute song built to stick.

Stay in the Avenues neighborhood—tree-lined streets with actual character, close enough to downtown but removed from the noise. For dinner, Lazy Dog in Sugar House serves exceptional Colorado lamb and maintains a wine list that doesn't insult your intelligence. Spend an afternoon at the Natural History Museum of Utah in Red Butte Canyon; the building itself is architecturally stunning and the collection gives real context to the landscape you're actually standing in. The city's proximity to actual mountains matters when you've got downtime.
