The How You Remind Me rockers have repeatedly been voted as one of the worst bands of all time, but that hasn't stopped podcaster Jesse Carey.

He has raised nearly £10,000 so far and plans to spend the next week listening to the Canadian band's entire catalogue.

Jesse, who says listening to Nickelback for seven days is the "ultimate test of human endurance", has even consulted DOCTORS – who told him he cold face irreversible ear damage from the feat.

He plans to conquer the challenge by stretching frequently and guzzling water.

The proceeds will be given to Charity:Water - an organisation that builds clean water projects for struggling communities.

Jesse added: "I’m willing to put my personal health at risk for the challenge.

"Obviously, exposure to such a large quantity of Nickelback is very dangerous."

In October last year, Nickelback faced a crowdfunded campaign to block them from performing in Britain.

The #DontletNickelback project was launched by a Brit determined to stop the Canadian band from performing in the UK.

But frontman Chad Kroeger laughed off the campaign and said the negative publicity helped the group.

"All these critics, they're just tireless," he said at the time.

"They keep ragging on the band. 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. I hope the money goes to charity and not in this guy's pocket."
