THE STATE - Whether its the state you're in or state of mind... NICKELBACK take you from there, to a whole different place. The sound is a maelstrom of energy, drawing on classic and contemporary influences that bring to mind everything from Led Zeppelin to The Foo Fighters. Then there's a name-what's that about?"The Truth? asks Mike Kroeger, "We couldn't decide what to call ourselves and after recording our first songs, we still didn't have a name. I was working as a cashier at Starbucks Coffee and let's just say...coffee was $1.95."
The Starbucks was Vancouver back in 1996. The brothers Kroeger, Chad and Mike, first started what was to become NICKELBACK along with their cousin Brandon on drums and longtime friend Ryan Peake handling guitars duties. Chad wrote the lyrics, while all four members collaborated on the music.
NICKELBACK later burned through two other sticksmen, finally clicking with Ryan Vikedal, an old friend of Peake's.
THE STATE was independently released in Canada in January 1999 through the band's own label. When the leadoff single, the anthemic "LEADER OF MEN" went top-twenty on the rock charts with only band's vehement self-promotion behind it, the labels quickly came swarming around. They eventually inked with Roadrunner Records.
As usual, the band hit the road to promote their latest collection. Having toured with everyone from Creed, Silverchair, and Everclear, to Stabbing Westward and Oleander, the band already has a fanatical live following in Canada. They can't wait to bring THE STATE to the States and win over audiences with fiery romp that is NICKELBACK live.
Packing a power punch that blows away almost anything you'll hear on the radio today, THE STATE the obvious, NICKELBACK are poised to dish out of rockrecord of the new millenium.
