Nickelback is a rock and roll band founded in western Canada in 1995. The name derived from the nickel in change Mike Kroeger 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. 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.
Nickelback has achieved major success on rock radio, scoring 10 Top 10 hits since 1999; their song "Hero" was played for the closing-credits of Spider-Man. They have also crossed over to mainstream radio, scoring multi-format smashes on last two albums.
