Contents

Live Without It is their first new original song in five and a half years since the release of their January 2019 single Halo, [11] [12] the band's first new original song release since longtime guitarist Mark King departed the band in 2021, [13] and is the groups first new release on their new label Evil Teen Records since leaving The End Records. [14] [15]

Background

Upon the release of their January 2019 single, Halo, Hinder had announced it was the lead single from their upcoming seventh studio album. [16] [17] In July 2019, the group released a cover of the Eagles 1977 song Life in the Fast Lane as a promotional single with an announcement that more new music would come at the end of 2019 or early 2020. [18] [19]

In late 2019, drummer Cody Hanson and lead singer Marshal Dutton debuted a new side project the duo named Dangerous Hippies that served as an outlet to experiment with news songs they felt would not be suitable for the future Hinder albums, [20] but made clear that the new project would not take priority over Hinder and that new Hinder music would be coming in 2020. [21] [22]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and COVID lockdowns cancelling the band's year-long planned 15th anniversary tour for their debut album Extreme Behavior, [23] the band delayed releasing new music in 2020. [24] [25] [26] In early 2021 it was revealed that long-time guitarist Mark King stepped away from the band to focus on his new family life and solo project named "Caffeine Genius". [27] [28]

When the band resumed to touring in 2022, they began debuting new music in their setlist during concerts, debuting the new songs "Bring Me Back To Life" and "Everything Is a Cult". [29] In May 2023, the group collaborated with the popular cover and modern rock band No Resolve to release a cover of Unstoppable by Sia and announced that new original music would be coming sometime soon.

After wrapping up a string of tour dates with Creed and 3 Doors Down, [30] on August 19, 2024, the group officially announced via their social media profiles that their new single "Live Without It" will be released on September 13, 2024. [31] [32]

Charts

"Live Without It" debuted at the No. 38 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, [33] [34] peaking at No. 20 and making it their first time charting in seven years since release of the single "Remember Me", their highest peak position on the charts since their 2012 single "Save Me" [35] and the highest-peaking single to date with lead-singer Marshal Dutton after original lead singer Austin John Winkler left the band in 2013.

Music video

The music video for "Live Without It" was produced by Intellego Media and debuted on September 25, 2024, via YouTube. [41] It opens with a silhouette of a man (Marshal Dutton) sitting alone in a dark room, setting a somber tone. The scene then transitions to an attractive dancer, implied to be a stripper and the source of the narrator's mental anguish, capturing the raw frustration and emotional exhaustion of being stuck in a broken relationship that feels endless. Throughout the video, the narrative alternates between shots of the man in the room—becoming increasingly angry and frustrated as he trashes his surroundings—and the dancer, who progressively reveals more skin while performing on stage. These scenes are intercut with shots of the full band performing in an empty warehouse, adding to the gritty and emotionally charged atmosphere. The visuals emphasize themes of mistrust, detachment, and the futile effort of trying to repair something irreparably broken. As the video progresses, it mirrors the song's bittersweet exploration of inner conflict, vulnerability, and the painful realization of needing to let go but struggling to take that final step.
