Alberta, Canada based pop-rockers Nickelback aren't likely to leave success to the odds. Far from taking a "coin-toss" approach, brothers Chad Kroeger (lead vocals, guitar) and Mike Kroeger (bass), along with guitarist Ryan Peake and drummer Daniel Adair, are more the hard-working types.

Quoted on the band's MySpace page, Chad Kroeger said, "I honestly think that with every song you release you have to keep winning your own fans over again…. I want every single song to be amazing."

Since March, Nickelback has been touring North America in support of the group's new release "Dark Horse." Five final shows are set for next week, wrapping up in Houston on Sept. 12. SoundSpike photographer Tim Mosenfelder attended Nickelback's show in Wheatland, CA, on Monday (8/31) and here are some of his best shots.
