Son of Dork

Son Of Dork, popularly abbreviated to SOD, is a British band formed by James Bourne in 2005 soon after pop band Busted disbanded.

Members

The members are:

James Bourne - Guitar/Vocals - 22 years old - from Southend-on-Sea
Steve Rushton - Bass/Vocals - 18 years old - from Chertsey, Staines
David Williams - Guitar - 19 years old - from Newport, Wales
Chris Leonard - Guitar - 26 years old - from Surrey
Danny Hall - Drums - 24 years old - from Widnes

Ben Jackson, formerly of the band DudeFish was originally a member but later dropped because his voice was not suited to James'.

Musical Style

Son of Dork's sound could be considered pop, pop rock or pop punk. In reality, their musical style contains elements of all three. Influence is evident from pop punk bands such as Good Charlotte and Sum 41 as well as the pop rock of Avril Lavigne and more traditional boybands such as Westlife or Boyzone. Essentially, the band's musical style is remarkably similar to the "Nu Pop" of Busted.

Chart Success

Son of Dork's first single was "Ticket Outta Loserville", released on 7 November 2005, entered the UK Singles Chart at number #3, followed by their debut album Welcome To Loserville on 21 November 2005, which reached #35. On 16th January 2006, their second single "Eddie's Song" was released. The song is about Bourne's ex-Busted band-mate Matt Jay and charted at #10. Another track on the album, "Party's Over" was written after a Busted party to celebrate the chart-topping success of "3am" and was rumoured to have been the next Busted single, had the band not split. It has also been revealed that another track on the album, "Wear Me Down" was originally written for the next Busted album. "Party's Over" is expected to be the band's third single and is likely to be in released Mid-March, followed by "Murdered In the Mosh" and "Boyband" expected throughout the summer months.

Other Trivia

They turned on the Cowbridge Christmas lights in 2005, but failed to perform.

The band have a considerable overseas following.
