For over 20 years, One Bad Son has been a staple on the Canadian rock scene, weathering the ebbs and flows of the ever-changing rock landscape by doing one thing well: writing music that matters to them, regardless of trends. “We've been incredibly lucky. We've followed our own compass, and the fans have been with us every step of the way,” says singer Shane Connery Volk. 

Over the course of five albums, two EP’s, sixteen singles and dozens of tours throughout Canada, the US and Europe, the band has eschewed trends while remaining on the cutting edge of modern rock and gaining a legion of devoted fans along the way. 

The band achieved their first number one single on Canadian Rock Radio with the anthemic 2017 single, Raging Bull. The song stayed at the top of the charts for four weeks and was followed by an extensive Canada/US tour which culminated in OBS being selected to share the bill with The Rolling Stones in front of 70,000 fans as part of the Stones' No Filter tour. 

In 2020, Guitarist and founding member Adam Hicks left the band, leaving fellow founding members Volk and drummer Kurt Dahl to ponder their future as a group. “If I’m being honest…for a year or two, we forgot how to write songs together,” says Dahl. “Maybe we had to heal the relationship between us. Maybe we had to heal our relationship with the great song writing gods in the sky. Whatever the case – we did it. And then the songs started flowing like never before.”

One thing is certain: One Bad Son shows no signs of slowing down. “I feel like we've caught a second wind right now and it's such a gift,” says Dahl. “In the studio and on stage, we haven’t had this much fun since the early days. Whatever that magic is that we have – between the band and our fans – it’s never been stronger.”
