Editing Treble Charger (section)

==History==
===Early years (1992–1996)===
Originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, the band consisted of Nori, Priddle, Rosie Martin and [[Morris Palter]] and was named '''NC-17''' (after the movie rating) until 1994 when an [[United States|American]] band with the same name threatened to sue. They adopted the name Treble Charger but named their debut album ''[[NC17 (album)|NC17]]''. ''NC17'' was released independently at first by Smokin' Worm in 1994,<ref name="Inc.1995">{{cite magazine|author=Larry LeBlanc|title=Canada: Who's Who|magazine=Billboard|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sAsEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA80|date=4 February 1995|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc.|pages=80–|issn=0006-2510}}</ref> but it was a hit on [[college radio|campus radio]], [[MuchMusic]], and [[CFNY]] when it was re-released by [[Sonic Unyon Records]] in 1997.<ref name="Inc.1995a">{{cite magazine|author=Larry LeBlanc|title=Sonic Unyon Stays True to its Artists|magazine=Billboard|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9A0EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA64|date=23 September 1995|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc.|pages=64–|issn=0006-2510}}</ref>

In 1995, the band released ''[[Self Title]]'', which included a [[CD-ROM]] track promoting 30 of Treble Charger's favourite Canadian indie bands, including [[The Inbreds]], [[Change of Heart (band)|Change of Heart]], [[By Divine Right]], [[Hayden (musician)|Hayden]] and [[Thrush Hermit]].

In 1996, Treble Charger signed with [[RCA Records]] in the United States.

===Shift to pop punk (1997–2006)===

1997's ''[[Maybe It's Me]]'' was the band's major label debut. Palter recorded drums for only a few tracks, and, after Nori considered recording the rest of the drums himself, session drummer Mike Levesque stepped in. The album featured a more polished, commercial sound than the band's earlier albums, and launched the hit "[[Friend of Mine (Treble Charger song)|Friend of Mine]]".  Soon afterward, [[Trevor MacGregor]] joined as the band's drummer.  That lineup, along with several of their songs from this album, were also featured in the 1999 film ''Mr. Music''.  The band played the role of an 'undiscovered' indie band that gets discovered and helps to turn fictional Tone Records around from its slump.
''[[Wide Awake Bored (album)|Wide Awake Bored]]'', released in 2000, completed the band's evolution to a pop-punk style. This album also featured the hit singles "[[American Psycho (Treble Charger Song)|American Psycho]]" and "Brand New Low".<ref name="Inc.2001">{{cite magazine|author=Larry LeBlanc|title=Canadian Music at a Crossroads|magazine=Billboard|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fhQEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA48|date=31 March 2001|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc.|pages=48–|issn=0006-2510}}</ref>

In 2001, Treble Charger performed at the Snow Jam festival in Halifax.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20011121220051/http://chartattack.com:80/damn/2001/09/1903.cfm "Live: Snow Jam Halifax Citadel Hill Halifax, NS".]}}. ''Chart Attack'', September 19, 2001, Review by: Ryan O'Connor</ref> In 2002, the band released ''[[Detox (Treble Charger album)|Detox]]'', featuring hit single "[[Hundred Million]]" and "Don't Believe It All".

Priddle, identified with Treble Charger's early indie rock direction rather than the later pop-punk, left the band in 2003. Initially, it was said he was taking a break from the group,<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.chartattack.com/news/34650/bill-priddle-takes-a-break-from-treble-charger |title=Bill Priddle Takes A Break From Treble Charger |magazine=[[Chart (magazine)|Chart]] |date=29 September 2003 |access-date=2008-11-22 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607103814/http://www.chartattack.com/news/34650/bill-priddle-takes-a-break-from-treble-charger |archive-date=June 7, 2011 }}</ref> but it later came out the departure was permanent, and Nori had asked him to leave sooner than Priddle had intended.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.chartattack.com/news/34819/ex-treble-charger-bill-priddle-i-wasn%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%E2%84%A2t-happy-going-in-the-punk-pop-direction |title=Ex-Treble Charger Bill Priddle: I Wasn't Happy Going In The Punk-Pop Direction |access-date=2008-11-22 |magazine=[[Chart (magazine)|Chart]] |date=23 October 2003 |first=Elizabeth |last=Chorney-Booth |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607104031/http://www.chartattack.com/news/34819/ex-treble-charger-bill-priddle-i-wasn%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%E2%84%A2t-happy-going-in-the-punk-pop-direction |archive-date=June 7, 2011 }}</ref>

[[Kelly Osbourne]] guitarist [[Devin Bronson]] filled in for Priddle for the rest of the ''Detox'' tour. Priddle continued his collaborations with [[Broken Social Scene]] and is a member of his new band [[The Priddle Concern]].

By this time, their work with and the success of their proteges [[Sum 41]], whom Nori produced, had started to eclipse Treble Charger's own career. In late 2004, it was reported that Treble Charger itself was on hiatus, but an animated version of the group, including Priddle, would appear, with Sum 41, on [[The Comedy Network]] series ''[[Kevin Spencer (TV series)|Kevin Spencer]]''.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.chartattack.com/news/37297/treble-charger-sum-41-get-trashed-on-tv-show |title=Treble Charger, Sum 41 Get Trashed On TV Show |magazine=[[Chart (magazine)|Chart]] |date=19 October 2004 |access-date=2008-11-22 |first=David |last=McDougall |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607104105/http://www.chartattack.com/news/37297/treble-charger-sum-41-get-trashed-on-tv-show |archive-date=June 7, 2011 }}</ref>

However, a message posted on July 20, 2004, on their official website said they were continuing to record and the band was still together.  But on September 1, 2005, Nori said in an interview:

:''"Thanks for all the amazing support you have given us. It seems like we're bigger now then we have ever been. I only wish more people had caught on to our music sooner so that we could have had an easier time at being a band. I'm not saying it's over yet but I am saying that right now I need to focus on other things. Maybe in a while I will get the urge to write a new TC album but right now my heart's not in it. Thanks for enjoying our music."''

The hits "American Psycho" and "Brand New Low" were featured in [[EA Sports]] Hockey game ''[[NHL 2002]]'' and "Hundred Million" was used in ''[[NHL 2003]]'' and in [[Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild]].  EA also used "Wear Me Down" and "Business" from the ''Wide Awake Bored'' album in [[Triple Play series|Triple Play 2002]].  "American Psycho" was used in promotional advertisements for the [[direct-to-video]] movie ''[[American Pie: Band Camp]]'' and featured in the movie ''[[Dude, Where's My Car?]]''

On February 3, 2006, Nori disbanded Treble Charger, ending their 14-year career.

===Post-breakup activity (2006–2011)===
Nori has stopped managing Canadian band [[Sum 41]], although he now manages other bands. He is currently a "musical guru" for the Canadian reality show ''[[Disband (TV series)|disBAND]]'' (since renamed ''Much Discovered'') on [[MuchMusic]]. Priddle pursues a solo career in Toronto, and released a solo album in 2008 with his new band [[The Priddle Concern]]. MacGregor currently writes music for TV and film. Palter went on to pursue degrees in contemporary percussion performance and continues to perform solo and chamber music of contemporary composers all over the world.

Treble Charger was one of the inaugural inductees into the [[Steelback Centre#Sault Ste Marie Walk of Fame|Sault Ste. Marie Walk of Fame]] on September 30, 2006, during the grand opening weekend of the [[Steelback Centre]], the city's new sports and entertainment arena.

Nori produced [[Organ Thieves]]' first full-length studio album ''[[Somewhere Between Free Men and Slaves]]'', which was recorded between 2010–2012 and released on April 3, 2012.

===Reunion and upcoming sixth studio album (2012–present)===
On January 15, 2012, a [[Twitter]] account was opened for the band, with the opening tweet saying "Wow - it's been a while. Might be time to knock the dust off...", which led to speculations about the band reuniting, also following Nori's tweet "Thinking I should probably call Bill, and maybe pick up some new guitar strings, hmmmm."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/TrebleCharger|title=Treble Charger (@TrebleCharger) - Twitter|website=twitter.com}}</ref> On January 20, 2012, it was confirmed that the band will reunite (without Martin and MacGregor) and has announced plans to play a reunion show at The Indie Awards in Toronto as part of [[Canadian Music Week]].<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://exclaim.ca/News/treble_charger_announce_reunion|title=Treble Charger Announce Reunion|magazine=[[Exclaim!]]|access-date=2012-01-20 }}</ref> Another show was confirmed for March 21, 2012 in Toronto, with the band playing alongside [[Organ Thieves]]. The band played three more Canadian festival shows, in June, July and November.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.last.fm/music/Treble+Charger/+events/2012|title=Treble Charger events|website=Last.fm|year=2012}}
</ref>

In 2013, the band played one headlining show on July 12, in [[Windsor, Ontario]], with support from [[The Trews]] and [[Neverending White Lights]].

Nori and Priddle entered the studio to record new music in September 2014.<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=http://www.saultstar.com/2014/09/19/reunited-treble-charger-heads-to-studio|title=Reunited Treble Charger heads to studio|website=Saultstar.com}}</ref> During a 2018 headlining of the Rotaryfest, the band mentioned the possibility of a new album.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sootoday.com/local-entertainment/new-music-on-the-way-from-treble-charger-18-photos-991900|title=New music on the way from Treble Charger?

The band held a VIP fundraiser on March 7, 2024, to raise money for the [[Algoma University]] music program. On July 6, 2024, Treble Charger played the Big Shiny Saturday concert in Toronto, on a bill with [[Bif Naked]], [[I Mother Earth]], [[Headstones (band)|Headstones]], and [[The_Tea_Party_(band)|The Tea Party]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://q107.com/event/16097/big-shiny-saturday/|title=Big Shiny Saturday|website=q107.com|access-date=22 November 2024}}</ref>

===Nori abuse allegations===
On October 7, 2024, [[Sum 41]]'s [[Deryck Whibley]] released his memoir "Walking Disaster", in which he accused Nori of sexual and verbal abuse during his time as the band's manager. Nori allegedly grabbed and kissed Whibley, and when he rejected those advances, Nori became psychologically and verbally abusive.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2024-10-07/sum-41s-deryck-whibley-alleges-sexual-abuse-by-former-manager-in-new-memoir-walking-disaster|title=Sum 41's Deryck Whibley alleges sexual abuse by former manager in new memoir 'Walking Disaster'|website=Los Angeles Times|date=October 7, 2024|last=Brodsky|first=Rachel}}</ref> Nori denied the allegations, insisting that although the relationship began when Whibley was a teenager, it was in fact consensual.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/greig-nori-strongly-denies-sexual-coercion-claims-by-sum-41s-deryck-whibley-there-was-a/article_0948d3e2-8739-11ef-b971-1bb368aeb19d.html|title=Greig Nori strongly denies sexual coercion claims by Sum 41's Deryck Whibley: 'There was a consensual sexual relationship'|website=Toronto Star|date=October 10, 2024|last=Assaly|first=Richie}}</ref>
