Nickelback got in on the April Fools' Day fun with fake album news.

In a social media post, the Canadian rockers announced they'd be putting out a new record called San Quentin, featuring 15 versions of their single "San Quentin."

Sample track names include "San Quentin (Live from Someone's iPhone)," "San Quentin (And It's the Same But There Are Three More Guitar Solos So It's Not)" and "San Quentin (Taylor's Version) (10 Minute Version)."

Also on the track list is a song called "The Betrayal (Act II)" — a reference to Nickelback previously releasing songs called "The Betrayal (Act I)" and "The Betrayal (Act III)."

The real "San Quentin" appears on Nickelback's latest album, 2022's Get Rollin'.

As for actual new Nickelback music, the band put out a single called "Bones for the Crows" in March. They also appear in a new commercial with rapper Megan Thee Stallion for Cheetos, which definitely sounds like an April Fools' Day joke but is in fact very real.
