August 27 2013 – This past May we were very excited to see One Bad Son two times on their Ontario tour. We raved about those shows and here is our conclusion from the Toronto show review.
Verdict 5+ out of 5 – This was the mother of all hard rock club shows. The combination of incredible music and four guys clearly loving real rock with the confidence to genuinely deliver it is exactly what the music industry needs. There will be a “classic” rock revival and One Bad Son will be Canada’s flag bearer. One Bad Son deliver a potent elixir of excellent musicianship and live performance energy that Canada has been lacking for a very long time.
Today we got the following press release – Saskatoon rockers, One Bad Son, will join Crash Karma on tour this fall. The tour will make its way across Canada, beginning in Peterborough on September 24 and wrapping in Toronto on October 24. From their self-titled album, One Bad Son have made a name for themselves on the live scene and at Canadian rock radio – their single “Scarecrows” reached the Top 5 at Canadian Rock radio and “It Ain’t Right” peaked at number 11 on the BDS chart. They will be releasing their next single “Retribution Blues” to radio in September.
The band, known for their massive rock sound and adrenaline pumping live shows, are ready to go back on tour. “We’re definitely excited to get back on the road, though it feels like we haven’t left,” says lead vocalist Shane Volk. “Opening across Canada for Crash Karma is going to put us back in some of our favourite Canadian cities as well as exploring some we haven’t visited yet. It’ll be a grueling tour, which is what One Bad Son does best and we’ll be crossing the country a personal record of four times in one tour!”
Earlier this summer, One Bad Son wrapped their western Canadian tour where they opened for Three Days Grace, Monster Truck and Theory of a Deadman.
