Treble Charger

Hailing from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Treble Charger was an indie-rock turned pop-rock band that consisted of Greig Nori, Bill Priddle, Rosie Martin and Trevor McGregor.

In 1994, TC released their first record, nc17, independently and was a hit on campus radio, MuchMusic, and CFNY. It was later re-issued on Sonic Unyon Records in 1997. Also, in 1997, TC released their sophomore album and major label debut, Maybe It's Me. This album was more commercial rock, led by single "Friend of Mine."

Three years later, TC released their infamous third album, Wide Awake Bored, which spawned three massive hits; "American Psycho", "Brand New Low" and "Business." You gotta love "American Psycho", it's a classic.
This album was the first Treble Charger album to have success in the United States and was nominated for an award at the 2001 Juno Awards. Following Maybe It's Me, this album is Treble Charger's second most successful album to date.

Finally in 2002, their fourth and final album was released. Detox was another album to spotlight their evolution to a pop-punk band. It featured singles "Hundred Million" and "Don't Believe It All". The video for "Hundred Million" is awesome and features Sum 41, Avril Lavigne and Gob. Detox was also certified Gold of 50,000+ copies sold in Canada.

Guitarist Bill Priddle left the band in 2003, citing creative differences. Priddle's work with the band was widely acclaimed and praised for their indy rock style. According to sources, Priddle wasn't comfortable with the bands new image and sound. In 2006, singer/guitarist official disbanded Treble Charger.

You know, it's actually sad how this band ended. Treble Charger was a band that became popular after tensions in the band hit an all-time low. It's a real shame because the band always had potential of being a well established Can-rock act but never got the respect or attention they deserved.

Not much has serviced from the band since. Greig Nori is the host of the show "Disband" on MuchMusic but that's all I know. Go listen to some Treble Charger!
