Career

Peake co-writes some of the band's most popular songs and sings most backing vocals, with the rest being sung by their drummer Daniel Adair. During a period of transition for the band, Peake filled in as a distributor.

Peake also sings some of the band's cover songs, including "Super Bon Bon" and "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)" live in concert.

When playing, Peake mostly uses Gibson guitars such as Les Pauls, Gibson Explorers and Gibson Flying Vs, as well as a modified glass Lucita Gibson look alike Flying V that he plays Figured You Out with live in concert. He has also been seen using a Gretsch double neck electric guitar to play Someday before the band decided to have Chad Kroeger's guitar technician, Tim "Timmy" Dawson, play the 3rd guitar in concert, who has become popular thanks to Nickelback's European tour in September 2008. In Peake's early career, he mostly used modified Fender Telecasters. He would replace the Telecaster's pickups with EMG Humbuckers. He also uses Morgan acoustic guitars. In concert, Peake uses his father's old acoustic guitar to play Photograph, this guitar can be seen played by Kroeger in the song's music video. He has a guitar-playing style similar to Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett.

He plays through Mesa/Boogie Rectifiers and uses several effects.
