Son Of Dork2 on purevolume™

Pop / Punk

To Trace the story of Son Of Dork, You'd have to go back to 1991, the summer of grunge. Nirvana had just released 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and were the plaid-clad kings of the word, and the airwaves were noisier than they'd been in years.

It was this exciting time that a precocious, seven-year-old James Bourne put his hand up in class and asked to learn to play guitar. Developing a voracious appetite for music through Michael Jackson, via The Beatles and the Beach Boys and onto the punkier wares of Greend Day, he started to write his own material before being catapulted into the limelight with Busted. You may have heard of them. No-one could have known that they'd go on to become Britain's biggest pop band - the ones responsible for replacing lip-synching boy bands with real instruments and spiky choruses of genuine adolescent experience.
