Nickelback

Fact Sheet

Musical genre:Rock  
City  Hanna, Alberta, Canada
Years active1995-
Nickelback is a Rock and Roll band founded in western Canada in 1995. The name derived from the nickel in change one of the band members frequently had to give customers back in his job at a Starbucks coffee shop.

The core of the band hails from Hanna, Alberta. They are now based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and are generally regarded as having been the benchmark of bland radio-rock for the first half of the 2000s. Critics have often pointed out that "How You Remind Me", a Nickelback song that received extensive airplay in 2001, and "Someday", a popular song in 2003, are almost perfectly identical except for lyrical content.
