I pick my guitar up and think, “Okay, I’ve got to try to write a hit. One day I think I woke up and wondered how I got there. That doesn’t come from a place of vanity. Now you’re writing songs because you’re chasing hits, you’re trying to recreate and better the last amount of success. You used to write songs because you love to write and you like to hang with your friends and have fun. And I think it’s a very normal thing for artists who have hit any level of success to start getting lost in the machine. It is very much autobiographical after 16 plus years to that point of touring and writing and having such great radio success, just losing the place that my creativity originally came from. But you really hit at the nail on the head with the song. It’s not a part-time job.īut I’ve always designed and worked on some of the album artwork and designed merchant, that sort of thing. ![]() And when One Bad Son was really starting, you have to throw everything at that. And when I discovered music and really kind of discovered my voice and my love for music that took center stage. Like a lot of artists, I was always the kid doodling in class and all those things. Realizing your dreams and like your comic book drawing, you’ve been drawing ever since you’re a kid, haven’t you? It seems to basically tell the story of what’s going on right now. The song, it seems kind of autobiographical to me. So I just figured why push it? Why stress out trying to get and record more? And just get the one out while I’ve got it, and do more as they come. And even now, you just want to be safe about everything. Also the logistics of recording, especially when lockdowns were on and heavy. All of those things combined just shelve that idea of going to record. So that, and I landed this gig drawing comic books, which is also another passion and dream of mine. So not having two years of that really puts a dent in your plans for funding these things. My main source of income is from touring. Is part of that because of COVID-19 because you can’t really tour that much and promote it? You said you were thinking about putting out an EP, but you’re just putting out the single right now. So I figured just put it out, see how it goes and then just roll with it and kind of figure the rest out on the fly. So I just figured it’s a good time to just put it out, I think people need new music right now as well. And I’m like, “You can’t plan anyway so just put it out. I think I was stuck in the head space of having a larger plan. So I’ve been sitting on this song and not sure what to do with it, and finally just decided, in a world where you can’t plan anything, just put it out. Of course, like everybody else, COVID-19 changed all of those plans. While OBS wasn’t on the road, I was going to release these and do a little thing and stay busy. My plans were to record an EP and have it ready for 2020. ![]() So I’ve kind of accumulated a lot of ideas over the years. When you’re trimming an album down from 30 songs to 10 or 12, you end up having a lot leftover. ![]() The long story is that I’ve accumulated a lot of songs just writing for One Bad Son, that just didn’t work for the band. What made you decide to release a solo song at this time? We talked to Shane about the new single, his art, and what’s next for One Bad Son. It’s a fitting story for the talented artist’s first solo endeavour as well as his foray into the graphic art world. ![]() It tells the tale of a man who’s lost in life’s rituals but can’t shake the idea that there’s something else he should be doing. “Shiver” is the first official solo release for Shane and it comes with a 20 page comic book that showcases the musician’s other talent, comic book illustrator. in sha Allah very soon we gona be together.As lead singer and song writer for Canadian rock band One Bad Son, Saskatoon native Shane Connery Volk is known for gritty, soaring vocals on songs like “Scarecrows” and “Raging Bull” and nods to classic Westerns with the songs “True Grit and “The Outlaw Josey Wales”.
