Canadian band Nickelback 'wanted' for 'crimes against music' in Australia

Nickelback is one divisive Canadian band, playing to fansaround the worldwhile also seemingtodraw the ire of people everywhere they go.

For example, aLondonman attempted to prevent Nickelback from performing in his citywith acrowdfunding campaign.

And then there's Jesse Carey of Virginia, who listened to Nickelback continuously for oneweek for charity. After completing the challenge, he said:"Idon't think I could have gone one more minute."

All of this is nothing new for singer Chad Kroeger who laughs off the onslaught of criticism. In an October 2014 interview withThe Pulse Of Radio in the U.K., he said,"If they had stopped writing all this stuff about us, there would be no controversy left in the band and we probably would have died out years ago. They don't know that they're still responsible for us being around today."

If Kroeger credits his hostilecritics with helping the band survive,then he and his bandmates owe a big thankyou to the Queensland, Australia, police for their Facebookpostabout the band.

"Police are on the lookout for these men who are believed to be impersonating musicians," the force said in aFacebook poston Wednesday, whichincludes a rough drawing of the suspects.

As it turns out, the Queensland police have a history of detesting Nickelback. In December2014, they stated they woulddestroy a Nickelback CD received as a Secret Santa gift.
