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). Kurt Dahl is an entertainment lawyer in Canada. Shane Connery Volk is a comic book artist with Mad Cave Studios. History 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 album was recorded in Saskatoon in 2005, and released by U.S. independent record label Versailles Records. The album title is a reference to the movie The Big Lebowski.

Around this time, the band released an iPhone app that allowed users to make their own version of the song "Rustbucket". In late 2010, the band moved from Saskatoon to Vancouver, and shortly thereafter signed a record deal with 604 Records. The band's self-titled third album was released by 604 Records on September 25, 2012. The album was recorded in Vancouver and produced by Danny Craig, drummer for Canadian band Default. Frustrated with the lack of response from radio stations across Canada, the band decided to show up at various rock stations in Western Canada to play their song 'Scarecrows' in person.
