Craig Nicholls is the lead singer of which band?

Craig Robert Nicholls (born 31 August 1977) is an Australian musician, best known as the lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist of the Australian alternative rock band The Vines, of which he is the only mainstay member.

Nicholls had never written songs until The Vines started playing gigs. Early performances included playing for backyard parties and a regular spot on a local radio station. They gathered a following in Sydney and eventually garnered the notice of Capitol Records. Once he started writing songs, he loved it and continued to write more; the writing was a good outlet for him. Nicholls wrote "Factory", the band's first single, which became "New Musical Express" (NME) Single of the Week in November 2001. At the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Music Awards of 2002, The Vines won 'Best Breakthrough Artist - Single' for "Get Free", which was also written by Nicholls. At the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) Awards of 2003 he won the 'Breakthrough Songwriter Award'.
