CHEAP TRICK may be one of the most covered bands of all time. Since the 70s they've been blending elements of pop, punk and even metal in a way that is instantly catchy and recognizable. With timeless classics such as "I Want You to Want Me," "Surrender," and the late 80s lighter-waving favorite, "The Flame," CHEAP TRICK are a musical institution.

They released Rockford (named for the band's hometown) on their own imprint in June 2006, and anyone familiar with Comedy Central's The Colbert Report will note that not only did CHEAP TRICK write and perform the theme song, but that guitarist Rick Nielsen recently engaged in a "shred-off" with Peter Frampton and members of The Decemberists.
