Nickelback's Official website

Nickelback is a post-grunge rock band founded in Hanna, Alberta in 1995. The name derived from the nickel in change Mike Kroeger's brother frequently had to give customers back in his job at a Starbucks coffee shop in which he would say, "Here's your nickel back."

The band has sold over 12.5 million albums in US and over 1.5 million albums in Canada, their worldwide albums sales counted near to 20 million. Nickelback's latest release "All the Right Reasons" has already sold more than 3.3 million albums in US and almost 5 million copies worldwide while not even a year has passed since its release.
Nickelback was helped early on by Cancon, the Canadian law requiring a certain percentage of music played on Canadian radio to be from Canadian musical artists. Their second full length album, The State, propelled them to the mainstream with two Top 10 hits (one being "Leader of Men") and the follow up album Silver Side Up, with 2002's most-played single "How You Remind Me", gave them superstar status, scoring multi-format smashes on every album since.
Nickelback's style can be described as hard rock with a melodic undertone, modern arena rock sound (many claim there are also a small amount of heavy metal and country influences). The frontman Chad Kroeger is the dominant element; his vocals sustain the songs through verse and hook.

As with many bands, Nickelback's lyrics deal mostly with either acquiring romance, the loss of romance, or the transition between love and hate in relationships. Earlier albums included songs discussing problems such as parental desertion and domestic abuse. They seldom if ever speak metaphorically.

Their fifth album, All the Right Reasons (2005), sees a change in their subject matter. Kroeger deals with nostalgia, friendships and the passage of time in one of the 2005 singles, "Photograph". "Rockstar" has the band reflecting on the consequences of their new status as recognized musicians and is a typical grunge style attack on commercialisation and manufactured artists. The album, however, has received negative reviews. All Music Guide called Nickelback "unspeakably awful" in the album's critical review. [2]

Nickelback was the main support act for Bon Jovi on the European & American legs of the latter's "Have a Nice Day Tour" in 2006.
