Friday 11/18/22 5pm ET: Feature NEW LP: Nickelback – Get Rollin’ (2022)

Get Rollin’ is the tenth studio album by Canadian rock band Nickelback. The album was released on November 18, 2022. The album’s lead single “San Quentin” was released on September 7, 2022, accompanied by an official lyric video.

In early 2019, band members spoke of recording a tenth studio album, though Chad Kroeger conceded there was no timetable or rush for the band to complete it. Mike Kroeger spoke of his personal desire to move in more of a heavy metal direction, or wanting to do an album of Slayer cover songs.

On August 14, 2020, the band released a cover of the Charlie Daniels Band song “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”, featuring Dave Martone.

During a July 2021 interview bassist Mike Kroeger commented when asked about the band’s progress on new music saying “That is happening right now” he said of the forthcoming LP. “Music is being composed and recorded up in Canada. We were out there, and something came up and our producer had to take some time off. So I took that opportunity to (return home) to Los Angeles with family and spend a little bit of time at home. But I’ll be headed back up there in a couple of weeks to pick it up again.” When the subject of a release date came up, Mike said “it’ll be done when it’s done”, explaining that he and band would rather not be confined to a timescale for fear of making “a shitty record”. “Release dates are primarily arrived at by business interests, like record labels and whatever. We don’t have one of those,” he said. “We’ve been managing ourselves for about a year. So, the answer is no. We’re doing it on our schedule, at our own pace, and it’ll be done when it’s done. ‘Cause we’ve blown up deadlines in the past lots of times. Because we feel that you can make a good record and be late, but you can’t, or you shouldn’t, make a shitty record to be on time. So we won’t be pressed for time.
