Rock, Alternative, Hard Rock, Post-grunge
Nickelback is an Alternative Rock band formed in Hanna, Alberta by Chad Kroeger, Mike Kroeger, Ryan Peake and then drummer Brandon Kroeger (Brandon was later replaced by Mitch Guindon, who was replaced by Ryan Vikedal, who was then replaced by Daniel Adair, the current drummer of
Nickelback). The band is one of the most popular of the modern post-grunge genre, along with groups such as 3 Doors Down and Daughtry, performing in a slightly more radio-friendly manner of audio apart from the traditional 1990's grunge music era. Although the founders of the band hail from Hanna, Alberta, a small town east of Calgary, they are now based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The band's name originates from the nickel in change that band member Mike Kroeger often had to give customers in his previous job at Starbucks, and would frequently say "Here's your nickel back".
