Introduction To Nickelback

A Canadian rock group Nickelback from Hanna, Alberta, shaped in 1995. Founded by members Chad Kroeger, Mike Kroeger, Ryan Peake and then-drummer Brandon Kroeger. Nickelback is one of the most commercially flourishing Canadian groups, having sold 30 million records globally. Nickelback ranks as the 11th best selling music act of the 2000s, and seats as the 2nd best selling foreign act in the US behind The Beatles for the 2000s.

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

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