Nickelback are a phenomenally successful touring band whose tours have grossed in excess of $100 million thus far and have sold more than 30 million albums worldwide. Dark Horse is Nickelback’s first release since the immensely popular All The Right Reasons, released in 2005. In support of the album, the band has recently appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The American Music Awards. Critics and fans alike are praising Dark Horse. The New York Times raved, "Nickelback… has been responsible for some of the heaviest pop hits of this decade and more notably, it has almost single handedly preserved the idea of the arena-rock ballad." Entertainment Weekly declared, “The only sure thing in the music business in 2008.”
The first single, “Gotta Be Somebody,” is topping the charts with impressive numbers: Top 5 Rock, Top 10 Modern, Top 5 Hot A/C and Top 15 at Pop. At press time, the track has an estimated audience of over 45 million. The band is currently appearing in a major advertising campaign with Citi, featuring Nickelback in network and cable TV, print and online ads throughout November and December, showcasing “Gotta Be Somebody.”
Nickelback re-launched their official fan club website on November 13th where members can gain exclusive access to advance concert tickets, limited-edition merchandise, candid photos, audio and video. The site offers members exclusives, including special contests for merchandise, tickets and meet and greets with the band. There’s also a new social platform enabling members to network and chat with other members via message boards, a live chat room, blogs and many other interactive features.

Really great -- good background music for gaming. Not sure if I'll like everything they do but they definitely get one's attention.

You know how there are a lot of godawful rock bands on the radio today that all sort of blend together? The kind that have little or no value to the progression of rock music? The other day I was subjected to a particularly mindless track that I recognized from hearing time and time again in various places. Out of curiosity, I waited until the end to hear who was responsible for this musical atrocity. Turns out the band's name was "Nickelback."

Worth seeing in concert if you have a chance to go

Perhaps there is more to their name than people give them credit for. It's like a cheap knockoff of a silverback gorilla, with all the musical talent, but less creativity. If they were Sally Struther kids, I'd want my nickel back too.
