Worst Canadian export

H - I - N - D - E - R

This has got to be one of the worst bands I have seen come out of Canada. Their single “Lips of An Angel” is guilty in my books of several rock and roll ‘No-No’s.
From bad Mick Jagger impersonations in the video to the fact that if you play the song at the same time as ‘Welcome to My Life’ by Simple Plan and/or ‘Complicated’ the three should sync up perfectly… it is clear that they are completely unaware of themselves or their poorly written songs.
Not to mention the subject matter of the song is rediculous. Are we supposed to feel bad for this guy? Is his whiny opening lyric supposed to sound like he is crying or is that just how he sings?

Hinders’ Cinderella story of driving across Canada to record their album makes for a great segway to the video, but I think most of us were met with bitter disappointment when we realized the song follows an overrated formula that is utilized in most of the bad pop-punk offerings we have been presented with since about 2004.

When is this ’swing back from the chorus beat to say the hook’ thing going to die? I almost heard Avril go “NO no Nooo” right before he said “lips of an angeeeel” (or welcome to my life). And then I start to think “Am I the only one who hears this?”
