The Vulcan Dub Squad began in a basement in Brampton, Ontario in 1997 with the founding three members - Andrew Hunter (drums), Jason Doell (bass), and Ranbir (Rick) Gundu (guitars/vox).
After placing flyers in North Park in Brampton, the trio found two other interested musicians (David Croft and Graham Wilson) who ended up filling up the roster containing a second drum unit and second guitar.
