Maybe It’s Me by Treble Charger

Maybe It's Me, Treble Charger's third studio album, was the 1997 record that turned the Sault Ste. Marie band from a well-kept secret into a fixture of Canadian radio. It arrived the same year they signed to a major label, and you can hear the shift under way: the melodic indie rock of their early days getting sharper and punchier, on its way to the pop punk they'd later be known for. Lou Giordano produced, and Greig Nori and Bill Priddle, the band's two singing guitarists, trade off hooks like they've been saving them up.

It gave them three hit singles: "Friend of Mine", "How She Died" and a re-recorded "Red", first heard on NC17. It was their breakthrough and their best-received album to that point, and it went gold in Canada. A live "Scatterbrain" later turned up on MuchMusic's Much at Edgefest '99.
