Over 50 million albums sold worldwide. Nine Grammy Award nominations. Twelve JUNO Awards. Two American Music Awards. Six Billboard Music Awards. World Music Award Recipient for World's Best-Selling Rock Artist. Twelve consecutive sold-out international tours, playing to well over eight million diehard and adoring fans. Not to mention the distinguished achievement of being the best-selling foreign act of the 2000s - second only to the Beatles. Just some of such staggering statistics can only belong to Rock's reigning giant's of this century's musical landscape: Nickelback.

Crowned Rock Group of the Decade by Billboard, Nickelback has been a force to be reckoned with since bursting onto the worldwide charts with their 2001 debut smash "How You Remind Me" - certified by Billboard as "Top Rock Song of the Decade" and "Most Played Song of the Decade" by Neilsen SoundScan - from their eight-times platinum album Silver Side Up. Thirteen years, and 23 chart-topping singles later -- including such indelible classics like "Photograph", "Savin' Me", "Far Away", "Someday" and "Rockstar" -- only Nickelback has remained rock-steady during the most turbulent periods in the recording industry. And true to form, the Vancouver-based quartet has beaten the odds with their hotly-anticipated and distinctive eighth studio album No Fixed Address, a title which offers a clue to the band's enduring longevity, relevance and allure for millions of fans around the world.

On the surface, the aptly-named No Fixed Address is a sly reference to the band's globe-trotting expeditions to nearly a dozen different cities in writing and recording their triumphant follow-up to 2011's platinum-selling Here and Now. From such locales as Zurich, Göteborg, London, Surrey, Copenhagen, Vancouver, Berlin, Kapalua, Toronto, Los Angeles and Budapest, the over year-long endeavor proved a long realized dream for the band. "Rather than being locked in a studio for months and months on end, I really wanted us to get out and fully experience a bunch of different places," reveals Mike Kroeger. "Whether a tropical island, a hotel room in Italy or Sweden, or rented houses around the world, it really does change the way you work. We went everywhere to compose and record these songs. From the culture, the food, the surroundings or even the weather - the vastly different vibes have a huge impact on your frame of mind and greatly enriches the music."
