One Bad Son is a Canadian rock band from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, consisting of Shane Connery Volk (vocals), and Kurt Dahl (drums), Tara McLeod (lead), Ryan Kuly (bass).

[1] The band formed in 2004 in Saskatoon, when Dahl, Hicks and Volk started writing songs that would become part of their debut album, This Aggression Will Not Stand.

The single 'Alive in Texas' from the album was a surprise radio success in Saskatoon, after a part time employee at the local rock station Rock 102 was listening to the song, which was overheard by announcer and music director Scott Nicholls and it was subsequently added into rotation.

Dahl, Hicks and Volk moved into a house in Saskatoon together in 2006, and started writing songs for their second album, Orange City.

The album was again released by Versailles Records and spawned two regional radio successes in "Crooked Mic Stand" and "Sun/Fire."

[4] Around this time, the band released an iPhone app that allowed users to make their own version of the song "Rustbucket".

[8] The band returned home to Saskatoon to shoot the 'Scarecrows' video, which featured local fans and friends as extras.

[9][10] The band embarked on a cross-country tour with Buckcherry in 2013,[11] as well as dates with Monster Truck, Three Days Grace, and Crash Karma in support of the new album.
