Background notes
Archive material and source history
Nickel formed in Los Angeles in 1990, with Chad Kroeger on vocals and Ryan Peake on guitar. Their 1996 album 'The State' brought them mainstream attention, and they followed it up with 2001's 'Silver Side Up.' Their songs like 'Matter of Crime' and 'Terminally Nostalgic' show their mix of hard rock and metal.
In 1999, drummer Randy Boby left the band, leading to a period with several temporary drummers. A 2006 music video for 'Photograph' drew criticism and was pulled from MTV, though the band said it was meant to raise awareness about domestic abuse.
They've released albums including 'The Long Road' in 2003, 'All the Right Reasons' in 2005, and 'Feed the Machine' in 2017. Their sound leans on Kroeger's vocals and Peake's guitar work over a driving rhythm section.
