With All American Nightmare, Hinder continues to embrace the Sunset Strip days of Guns N' Roses, LA Guns, and Faster Pussycat. The album will continue to keep radio satisfied with another full arsenal of hard rock tracks, as well as tender ballads.

The Hinder gang --Winker, Hanson, bassist Mike Rodden and guitarists Joe Garvey and Mike King --is facing a time of transition. Now in their late twenties, they are on the cusp of growing up, so to speak, and wondering how that growth spurt will change them. But they haven't gotten all serious and somber. All American Nightmareis still ripe with the bluesy, gritty hard rock that they have made their name on --in fact, it features some of their heaviest music yet --from the snarling title track and the incensed "Striptease" to the melodic ballad "Everybody's Wrong" and the flippant closing number "Bad Mother Fucker," a drunken song that sends up male machismo with a satirical razor's edge that will undoubtedly offend many people.
