Nickelback is a Canadian post-grunge band formed in Hanna; Alberta by Chad Kroeger; Mike Kroeger; Ryan Peake and then-drummer Brandon Kroeger (the current drummer of Nickelback being Daniel Adair). 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 significantly more radio-friendly style than the traditional; early 1990s 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 bands name originates from the nickel in change that band member Mike Kroeger gave customers at his Starbucks job- he would frequently say; Heres your nickel back. "How You Remind Me" is the first single from rock band Nickelback's 2001 album, Silver Side Up. A "Gold Mix" was made for latter editions of the single with the heavier guitars edited out of the chorus. This single would be the last rock single to be #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 until Maroon 5's song "Makes Me Wonder" went to #1 six years later.Nickelback is a Canadian post-grunge band formed in Hanna; Alberta by Chad.
