Nickelback

If ever a band has embodied the old adage “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”, that’s surely Nickelback. First formed in 1995, this Canadian quartet have rarely changed tack in their three-decade career, but, with a post-grunge sound that has consistently delivered, the group have racked up 50 million album sales worldwide and remain one of their country’s biggest live draws.

Nickelback’s first significant breakthrough came with 2001’s Juno Award-winning Silver Side Up album (featuring their infectious signature hit, How You Remind Me, and the band have rarely looked back since. Further multi-platinum titles such as All The Right Reasons and Dark Horse promoted them to rock’s premier league during the 2000s, and their brand of metal-infused alt-rock has weathered changing fashions to enjoy sustained success in the years that followed.
