Nickelback's first release was a seven-track EP called Hesher in 1996. In the same year, Nickelback recorded their first full-length album Curb. "Fly" was included on both Hesher and Curb and was the first single produced by Nickelback. It did enter the charts and was only played on local radio stations.

The following album, The State, was recorded and released independently in 1998. Nickelback signed a record deal with EMI and Roadrunner Records, who re-released The State in 2000. Two singles from the album, "Leader of Men" and "Breathe" were fairly successful and resulted in the album being certificated gold in Canada and the United States. It was certified Platinum in 2008.

In 2001, Nickelback released the Silver Side Up album, which propelled them into the mainstream.
