Well, Justin Bieber is always on radar, yet, they won't say don't play JB songs by default :)
When you make this a public app, people who are fans of Nickbleback will be upset. It is unprofessional to me in the sense that you don't honor your customers' preference. Imagine Apple releases iTune with that feature, and decided that a bunch of artists are not played by default because it was fun to do that by being themselves, how would the public react? If this were just an app made with a friend, fine, maybe it was never unprofessional to the company behind it, but definitely not professional to the consumers, from the consumer's point of view. It wasn't a video app that restricts 18+ videos off by default.
And also a bit harsh to pick a particular band. I can be happier if this were just an April Fool joke and the team had made a prior agreement with the band that this was only for April Fool.
If you actually think Nickelback fans' complains are somewhat important for you to write a blog post, then you are definitely thinking about why it shouldn't be done in the first place.
