WARNING - If you DO put this in your CD player 'SILVER SIDE UP' it's highly likely you'll miss out on the high quality riffage that is on offer from NICKELBACK. (They could have called it printed-side-up, but that would just be silly). Released in 1999, and reaching gold status in Canada, Nickelback's THE STATE was a firecracker of a debut, with all four singles hitting Top 25 at Rock Radio. The hard rocking quartet, Chad Kroeger, Ryan Peake, Mike Kroeger and Ryan Vikedal, went from virtual unknowns to playing in front of over a million people. Needless to say, there are many good times yet to come for Nickelback. No matter how big it gets though, Nickelback's philosophy remains simple - 'We just like writing good songs with good melodiesthat you ll sing at our shows and remember when you walk away,' asserts Peake. And with an album as well-crafted and catchy as SILVER SIDE UP, these are songs that will stay with you long after the ringing in your ears has faded away. Remember - silver side DOWN!
