Nickelback is
a Canadian post-grunge band formed in Hanna, Alberta by Chad Kroeger,
Mike Kroeger, Ryan Peake and then-drummer Brandon Kroeger (the
current drummer of Nickelback being Daniel Adair). The band is one
of the most popular of the modern post-grunge genre, along with
groups such as 3 Doors Down and Daughtry, performing in a
significantly more radio-friendly style than the traditional, early
1990s grunge music era. Although the founders of the band hail from
Hanna, Alberta, a small town east of Calgary, they are now based in
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The band's 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 at home 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.
History
Nickelback's first release was a 7 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
ever produced by Nickelback. It didn't get any chart attention and
was only played on local radio stations.
The following album The State was recorded in 1998 and was released
as an independent record in the same year. Nickelback signed a
record deal with EMI and Roadrunner Records. The State was then
re-released in 2000 by EMI and Roadrunner Records, it was
certificated Gold in Canada and the United States.
In 2001, Nickelback released the album Silver Side Up, which
propelled them into the mainstream. The single "How You Remind Me"
was a huge success, peaking at #1 on both the American and Canadian
charts at the same time. In the U.S., it was a #1 single on the
Mainstream and Modern rock charts, as well as the pop chart. It also
peaked at #2 on Adult Top 40. How You Remind Me became the Billboard
Hot 100 #1 single of the year for 2002. The next single was "Too
Bad", which also hit #1 on the Mainstream Rock Chart and had a small
amount of success on the pop chart. The final single from the album
was "Never Again", another #1 hit on Mainstream Rock.
In 2002, Chad Kroeger worked with Josey Scott on the Spider-Man
theme song, "Hero". This also featured Tyler Connolly, Mike Kroeger,
Matt Cameron, and Jeremy Taggart.
In 2003, Nickelback released The Long Road. The lead single was
"Someday".
Nickelback's fifth studio album, All the Right Reasons, produced
five U.S. Hot 100 top 20 singles: "Photograph", "Savin' Me", "Far
Away", "If Everyone Cared", "Rockstar". Three of these became U.S.
Hot 100 top 10 singles.
