Details:
Drummer Kurt Dahl graduated from Law school the same month that his band got signed to an American record label. That band is One Bad Son, and in the past year they have released a fully distributed album across North America, embarked on 2 Western Canadian tours, become the most requested band on Saskatoon's Rock 102, and won a $10,000 recording grant for their sophomore release. With an Eastern Canadian tour in the near future and new songs like the ones on this page, Kurt shows no signs of looking back any time soon.

Here are some highlights:

- formed in Saskatoon, SK in late 2004
- signed a 2 record deal with U.S. indie label Versailles Records a few months later, based on the band's demo
