Austin John Winkler, the multi-platinum selling rockstar and former frontman of Hinder, returns with a bold new chapter: the Founder. More than just a name, the Founder symbolizes Austin's complete artistic rebirth. With this new musical entity, he has hit the reset button, taking full control of the creative process and allowing the music to exist within a collective identity rather than a single persona.
On March 14, Austin unveiled the Founder's debut six-track EP, Walking Ded, a testament to his hunger for raw, authentic rock and roll. Swapping self-destructive habits for the clarity of creation, the Founder channels his energy into his guitar, delivering a message of resilience and reinvention for both longtime fans and new listeners alike.
Formed by brothers Dameon and Gabe in 2001,
Aranda is an emotionally charged rock band out of Oklahoma City. The brothers made their national debut with their self-titled effort released on Astonish Entertainment that found the brothers with their first two hit singles "Still In The Dark" and Whyyyawannabringmedown" with the latter being covered by pop sensation
Kelly Clarkson. In 2012 the brothers released their sophomore record Stop The World that yielded 2 top 15 hits with "Satisfied" and "One More Lie". The album was produced by Johnny K. Relentless touring around the country followed and the band was direct support to bands like Daughtry, 3
Doors Down, Sevendust, Halestorm, Shaman's Harvest, Puddle Of Mudd, Three Days Grace,
10 Years and many more. 2015 brought another album entitled "Not The Same". It was produced by Kato Khandwala and offered up 2 more Top 20 radio hits with "
Don't Wake Me" and "We Are The Enemy". The album sold well and again another year of touring the country. The brothers then took an extended break in 2017 and then kicked things off with "Recollections Of A Painted Year" in the summer of 2022. Their newest EP release, Acoustic, Vol. 2, was released on May 9, 2025 and blends fan-favorite tracks with fresh material, offering a glimpse of what's to come from their anticipated full-length album this fall. 20 years later the brothers are still doing what they've loved to do together their whole lives.
