Nickelback, the Canadian music industry's favourite punching bag, is now taking shots from Australian cops.
"Police are on the lookout for these men who are believed to be impersonating musicians," the Queesland Police Service said in a BOLO (be on the lookout) posted to Facebook Wednesday, alongside a caricature sketch of permed Chad Kroeger and his bandmates.
"Avoid the area. It may be hazardous to your hearing and street cred."
The status even referenced this ridiculous infinite loop that some evil genius created on Vine last month.
The band, originally from Hanna, Alta., is on tour Down Under as part of its No Fixed Address tour.
The Aussie police also posted an urgent (but funny) warning on Twitter about the band's presence, accusing the foursome of "committing musical crimes."
This isn't the first time the QPS have taken a run at the band. Back in December, they posted a photo of a "suspicious package" received during an office Secret Santa gift exchange — a Nickelback CD — saying that it would have to be destroyed.
Despite being voted the second worst band of the nineties by Rolling Stone magazine readers, Nickelback has gained a huge international following.
