Nickelback - 'Here and Now'

Canadian rock band Nickelback – featuring frontman Chad Kroeger, brother Mike on bass, Ryan Peake on guitar and Daniel Adair on drums – is back with its seventh studio album, “Here and Now.” The November release peaked first and second on various Billboard charts and has held on strong into the new year. This comes as no surprise since 2010’s “Dark Horse,” the band’s previous album, reached multi-platinum status.

Two singles – “When We Stand Together,” an ode to world unity (think “If Everyone Cared”) and “Bottoms Up,” an ode to drinking – had a simultaneous release, showcasing the band’s versatility.

For fast-paced bar scene tunes, check out “Midnight Queen” and “Gotta Get Me Some.” Melodic tenderness is displayed on “Trying Not to Love You” and “Don’t Ever Let It End.”

The 11 radio-friendly songs offer up catchy and relatable lyrics – a winning combination.
