## Key points

- Mike Kroeger credits persistence for the brothers’ long partnership.
- Nickelback is looking ahead rather than centring a *Curb* anniversary.
- The band’s first substantial break came during COVID.

## Summary

Nickelback bassist Mike Kroeger says he and his half-brother, singer Chad Kroeger, have stayed together in the band for more than 30 years through stubbornness, persistence and a shared commitment to their goals. He said disagreements were part of working together, but neither brother considered leaving the band a real option.

Mike said Nickelback is not planning to build a celebration around the 30th anniversary of its 1996 debut album, *Curb*, preferring to look ahead. He described the band’s work as enjoyable and said creating music and learning new things help keep him engaged; the group released albums and toured after 2005, with the COVID period marking its first substantial break.
