Biography

Hanna, Alberta, Canada (1995 – present)

Nickelback is a rock band which formed in Hanna, Alberta, Canada in 1995. The band consists of Chad Kroeger (vocals, guitar), Ryan Peake (guitar, vocals), Mike Kroeger (bass) and Daniel Adair (drums). The band’s original drummer, Brandon Kroeger, left the group in 1997, and was replaced first by Mitch Guidon from 1997 to 1998 and then Ryan Vikedal from 1998 to 2005. The band has released seven albums: “Curb” (1996), “The State” (1998), “Silver Side Up” (2001), “The Long Road” (2003), “All the Right Reasons”, “Dark Horse” (2008) and “Here and Now” (2011).

Nickelback is one of the most commercially successful Canadian groups, having sold 30 million records worldwide. Nickelback ranks as the 11th best selling music act of the 2000s, and places as the 2nd best selling foreign act in the US behind The Beatles for the 2000s.

The band is now based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Its name originates from the nickel in change that band member Mike Kroeger gave customers at his Starbucks job, he would frequently say, “Here’s your nickel back”.

The band is signed to EMI in Canada and Roadrunner Records for the rest of the world. In July 2008, the band signed with Live Nation for three touring and album cycles, with an option for a fourth cycle. The contract includes recordings, touring, merchandise and other rights.


Early years: 1995–2000

Nickelback’s first release was a seven-track EP called Hesher in 1996. In the same year, Nickelback recorded their first full-length album Curb. “Fly” was released on Hesher and Curb and was the first single produced by Nickelback. It did not chart and was only played on local radio stations.

    I tagged the 'Back with 'compulsive violent masturbation metal', because it's impossible to hear teh Chadman™'s powerful, raspy voice without feeling a sudden, uncontrollable urge to jerk off using both hands.

    Bela Tarr needs to direct the story of Nickelback already. "Silver Cocks Up" An 8 hour long black and white piece, one take, starring the Kroeg sitting in a throne reciting the lyrics the semenal sextupal platinum masterpiece acapella.
