History & Biography

After falling out with Saxon singer Biff two founding members of Saxon formed Son Of A Bitch, which was Saxon’s original monicker, in 1994. The band issued a 1996 album called Victim You before suing to acquire the Saxon monicker having registered it and touring with it This not being successful, the group forged ahead as Oliver/Dawson Saxon in 2003. It was time now for Biff and Saxon to sue this act attempting to force the monicker to exclude ‘Saxon.’ That failed too. Re://Landed was a live record. The band did an Iron Maiden/Deep Purple/Nuclear Assault on fans and began issuing a series of live records. Rock Has Landed, It's Alive – 2009 was an earlier live video as well. The band was touring in 2018. Dawson retired in 2021. The band ended. Several members, including singer Bri Shaughnessy and guitarist Gavin Coulson, joined Graham Oliver in Graham Oliver's Army.

Singers Ted Bullet, John Ward and others have come and gone. The band also featured former Saxon member drummer Nigel Durham after the turn of the century.

Steve Dawson was jailed for six years for child sex offences going back to the 1990s beginning in 2024.
