About Nickelback
Nickelback formed in Hanna, Alberta, in 1995 and developed a guitar-driven sound around Chad Kroeger's grainy lead voice. Silver Side Up brought the band's compact riffs and large choruses to a wider audience; The Long Road and All the Right Reasons balanced harder songs with expansive ballads. Daniel Adair joined on drums in 2005. The later Get Rollin' chapter continued the group's emphasis on forceful rock playing and direct melodic hooks.
