Film review: Hate To Love: Nickelback
Kerrang!
by James Hickie

“Nobody picks up a guitar to be in the most hated band in the world,” Nickelback guitarist Ryan Peake reveals in this documentary chronicling the story of one of rock’s most successful but reviled acts, which will be shown in UK cinemas for two nights only this week. Hate To Love: Nickelback reveals the blood, sweat and beers that got the Canadians to where they are today. Watching it makes their story, which began in the sleepy farm town of Hanna, Alberta, all the more impressive – and the derision they’ve received over the years all the more improbable.

Live review: Skindred at OVO Arena Wembley, London
Kerrang!

“Wagwan Wembley!” This isn’t a greeting you hear everyday at this venue. And certainly not delivered by a tipsy black Welshman in a sequinned waistcoat with a penchant for leading 10,000 people through a dubstep version of The Proclaimers’ I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles). Welcome, then, to an evening with Benji Webbe and Skindred – where ragga meets metal meets confetti cannons and scything lasers.  “This is not just another concert,” frontman Benji tells us at one point. ​“This is a celebration of life!”  While he’s right – and a fucking great ..read more
