Nickelback is a rock band (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_band) formed in Hanna (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanna%2C_Alberta), Alberta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberta) by Chad Kroeger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad_Kroeger), Mike Kroeger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Kroeger), Ryan Peake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Peake) and then drummer Brandon Kroeger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_Kroeger). The band's musical influences include grunge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grunge) acts such as Soundgarden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundgarden) and Alice in Chains (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_in_Chains) and heavy metal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal) acts such as Metallica (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallica) and Motörhead (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mot%C3%B6rhead). Although the founders of the band hail from Hanna, Alberta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanna%2C_Alberta), a small town east of Calgary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calgary), they are now based in Vancouver (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver), British Columbia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Columbia), Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada). The band's name originates from the nickel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_%28Canadian_coin%29) in change that band member Mike Kroeger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Kroeger) often had to give customers in his previous job at Starbucks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starbucks), and would frequently say "Here's your nickel back".
The band is signed to EMI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMI) at home and Roadrunner Records (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadrunner_Records) for the rest of the world.

I've got to admit, if they had only made Silver Side Up (I know it's not their first record), I'd probably rate them a little higher.

Probably no higher than 4, but...
