The band was originally named NC17 but had to change their name due to some dispute with a US band of the same name. The original drummer was Morris Palter (from inception to 1997) who is now a reknowned percussionist and assistant professor of music.
The band released 5 studio albums in their time, but Greig Nori disbanded Treble Charger in 2006, ending its 14 year existence.
Greig Nori continues to work for Bunk Rock Entertainment as the manager/producer of Canadian Rock Band Sum 41.
Bill Priddle is involved with many projects post-Treble Charger, working with Broken Social Scene and Don Vail as well as releasing an album of solo material as The Priddle Concern
Trevor MacGregor was the drummer during what was the last 9 years of Treble Charger, thus making him the longest drummer to stay with them. He is now currently the drummer of Four Square.
On January 20, 2012, it was confirmed that the band will reunite (without Martin and MacGregor).
How She Died
Treble Charger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It didn't take so long
The things you put me through
Seem to be so wrong
You did not lie
It's far beyond you
You've said you tried
I close my eyes
I don't want to find out how she died
Foolish pride
You can't expect to turn away tonight
You've seen the last of me
Don't have to take my hand
You shouldn't try so hard
So hard to understand
I've seen the end
Just waiting for me
No time to spend
To doubt a moment
I can't stand to agonize
On what I've lied, apologize
It's far beyond your sense of play
It's anywhere and everywhere
