Treble Charger came roaring out of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, in 1992 with fuzzed-up guitars and hooks tucked under the noise, playing melodic indie rock with a Canadian chip on its shoulder. Greig Nori and Bill Priddle split the singing and the guitars, Rosie Martin played bass, and Morris Palter held down the drums in the early years, with Richard Mulligan behind the kit in the band's later lineup.
NC17, the 1994 debut, gave them "Red", a slow-burning, bruised anthem, and Maybe It's Me followed in 1997 with "Friend of Mine". Signing to a major label that year pushed them toward punchier pop-punk: Wide Awake Bored, in 2000, had the snotty, catchy "American Psycho", and Detox, in 2002, brought "Don't Believe It All" and "Ideal Waste of Time".
Priddle was gone by 2003, and the band called it quits in 2006 before coming back together in 2012. Between 1996 and 2016 they ranked among the Top 150 selling Canadian artists at home.
