Curb was the debut album by Nickelback, released in 1996. The album has quite a strong cult following. The album and title track were named for Chad Kroeger's friend, Kirby, who had sneaked out to visit his girlfriend but actually crashed his car into her car, since she also snuck out to see him, unbeknownst to him. This is also the reason for the wrecked car image on the original version of the album, and the lone road image on the re-released version. It sold 100,000 copies as an independent release. When the album was re-released in 2002, it charted on Billboard 200 albums chart at #182.
