Hinder Premiere New Acoustic Version of "Wasted Life"

Today, GuitarWorld.com and Hinder have gotten together to premiere a new stripped-down acoustic version of "Wasted Life."

The song is from the band's upcoming six-song acoustic EP, Stripped, which will be released May 13 via The End Records. The EP includes acoustic renditions of five original Hinder songs—including "Wasted Life"—plus an acoustic cover of "Not an Addict," which originally was recorded by K's Choice.

"Wasted Life" is available as an instant-grat track when you preorder the album via iTunes.

Here's what the band is saying about "Wasted Life" and Stripped:

• "'Wasted Life' is one of our favorite tracks off When the Smoke Clears, so it was really cool to get to do a completely different version for the upcoming acoustic EP. We've always said you can tell when a song is well written when you can play it in several different styles and you still love it."

• "We've wanted to do an acoustic EP for a long time since that's how most of our songs start out. It's kind of fun to strip everything away and let our fans hear them in a different way."

• "We are super excited for the upcoming tour. Not only are we going to play everything from the EP, but we'll be combing through our past catalog and playing some songs that wouldn't normally include in a live set.”
