Artist Biography

Nickelback is a Canadian rock group from Hanna, Alberta whose brand of radio friendly pop/rock was helped early on in their career by Cancon, the Canadian law requiring a certain percentage of music played on Canadian radio to be from Canadian musical artists.

Founded by Chad Kroeger as a tribute band, Chad's brother Mike Kroeger (bass), cousin Ryan Vikedal (drums), and Ryan Peake (guitar) joined Nickelback while Chad began to write his own music. They recorded a demo album "Hesher" and toured over Canada. Their name is said to derive from a Cafe that Mike worked at, where he frequently had to give a nickel back as change.
