Mohinder was an American post-hardcore band from Cupertino, California, active from 1993 to 1994.[1] Despite their brief existence, they are considered an important pillar of the 1990s California hardcore punk scene, and were one of the bands that helped define the genre now known as screamo.[2][3]

Mohinder's songs tended to be short in duration, and are often characterized as being extremely intense and chaotic.[2] Formed in 1993, they released three 7-inch EPs before breaking up in 1994.[4][5] All of the tracks from these records have since been posthumously compiled into a single CD discography release, titled Everything, by Gold Standard Laboratories in 2001.

Following the band's break up, members went on to form many other groups, such as Duster, Indian Summer, Helvetia, Calm, Jenny Piccolo, The Anasazi, A-Set, and Makara.[4][6][3] Marc Bianchi would also later release indietronic music under the name Her Space Holiday.[7]
