Winger is a heavy metal rock group formed in 1987 by Kip Winger, formerly of Alice Cooper's band. In addition to three studio albums, they recorded the song "Battle Stations" for the soundtrack of the movie Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey as well as "Down For The Count" for Karate Kid 3 .

After their 1993 album,'Pull', the band broke up in 1994 and Kip embarked on a solo career; in 2001 the band returned to the studio to record "On the Inside" for The Very Best of Winger . 2001 In 2002 they united to tour the US and Canada on a bill with Poison.

It is noteworthy that Winger was the subject of ridicule in the animated series Beavis and Butt-head during the mid 1990's. The neighbor-boy Stewart, who was always unsuccessfully trying to be accepted by Beavis and Butt-head, was usually depicted wearing a Winger t-shirt. This has been cited as one of the reasons for the band losing popularity.
