One Buck Short are a Malaysian punk rock / pop punk band from Kuala Lumpur. Ever since their first release in 2003 (an EP titled "Where's The Mouse?!) the band have gone on to be one of the region's top rock acts.

In 2008, One Buck Short (affectionately known as OBS) released their debut album “Halal & Loving It”, it produced hits like ‘Fast Times’, ‘Kelibat Korupsi’ and ‘Khayalan Masa’ to name but a few. With producer/arranger Greg Henderson at the helm, it was hailed by many as one of the best locally produced Malaysian rock albums ever. The band went on to open for acts like Fall Out Boy (in Singapore), Panic! At the Disco, My Chemical Romance and Good Charlotte. The band was the only Malaysian act billed for the inaugural SingFest in 2007 and also performed at the very first MTV Asia Awards held in Malaysia. With its high energy shows, it was not long before the band brought their sound to Australia, the Philippines and even China and Macau.

In January 2012, the band released their long-awaited second album entitled “Kampong Glam”, their sophomore release was their first full Malay album, with first single ‘Carilah Duit’ leading the charge and offering listeners a taste of what to expect. The 7-track album saw a new-found maturity in their signature punk-rock sound.

After a long hiatus, the band announced their return to the scene earlier this year as well as the comeback of Rockaway Festival, the local rock festival the band founded and has been hosting since 2009.

The band was founded by Hafiz and Rahul back when they met in high school. Hafiz and Rahul started out by jamming after school to bands like The Ataris and Blink 182 while gaining exposure playing events at their schools and college's. It was in college where Rahul met Mooky and where Hafiz met Imran. As both their college's were close by (Rahul and Mooky went to APIIT while Imran and Hafiz went to HELP) the guys ended up rehearsing and hanging out quite a bit, Not long after, the guys started getting themselves onto "battle of the bands" competitions before starting to tour in the local scene and all over Malaysia.
