All American Nightmare and Welcome to the Freakshow: 2010–2013
During early 2010, the band was engaged in writing and recording material for their third album,[9] titled All American Nightmare.[10] The album was released on December 7, 2010, with the first single, the title track, released on September 14, 2010.[9][11] Although the album was originally planned to be produced by Howard Benson, Kevin Churko was later announced to be the producer.[9]
Winkler said that the group started recording during the touring cycle for Take It To The Limit. "We wrote 70 or so songs, recorded about 50 and cut it down to 12," the singer explained. "It's something that we've never done before, so it's like our ultimate baby. A lot of the [other] songs could be shit, too, we don't know. You don't really know until you put it out there and have more than two people's opinion on it." Both he and drummer Cody Hanson mentioned the song "Memory" as one that was a strong contender for the final cut. "It's about being with your chick – the chick you've been with for a while, not some chick you've met on the road – and about being able to still have a good time with your wife or long-time girlfriend," said Hanson. "I've been in a relationship myself for nine years, so it was cool to write a song like that."[12]
On August 9, 2012, Hinder announced via Facebook and Twitter that their then-upcoming album would be titled Welcome to the Freakshow. It was released on December 4, 2012. Hinder released their first single, "Save Me", on August 30.[13] On July 10, 2013, it was announced that lead singer Austin Winkler had entered rehab, and would not be touring with the band for the remainder of the year.
