Nickelback Biography

Nickelback is a hard rock band formed in
Hanna, Alberta by Chad Kroeger, Mike Kroeger, Ryan Peake and then drummer
Brandon Kroeger. The band is one of the most renowned of the modern
post-grunge genre, along with groups such as 3 Doors Down and Daughtry,
performing in a slightly more radio-friendly manner of audio apart from the
traditional 1990's 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 often had to give
customers in his previous job at Starbucks, and 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.
