No band wants to be a punchline.
Canadian rockers Nickelback earned that dubious honor, and the label stuck. It wasn’t for lack of success. The band scored several hit songs during the 2000s, including “How You Remind Me,” “Rockstar” and “Far Away.”
Then the pop culture tastemakers turned on the quartet.
That toxic shift is captured in “Hate to Love: Nickelback,” a documentary on the band that debuted at the Toronto Film Festival last year. The film will get a two-night global release March 27 and 30.
