- Big Wreck was a neo-progressive hard rock band of the late 1990s. The band was formed in Boston, Massachusetts by vocalist Ian Thornley, guitarist Brian Doherty, bassist Dave Henning and drummer Forrest Williams, who met as students at the Berklee College of Music. After several years of gigging in Boston and Cambridge, the band signed to a major label and released its debut album In Loving Memory Of... in 1997. The single "The Oaf" was a major Top Ten hit for the band that year. Since Ian Thornley is Canadian, the band's biggest commercial success was in Canada rather than the United States. The album's subsequent singles, "Blown Wide Open" and "That Song", were not as successful on the American charts as "The Oaf" had been, but in Canada they were both Top Ten hits. In October 2001, Big Wreck played a special show at Toronto's Roy Thomson Hall accompanied by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and the Uzume Taiko Ensemble of drummers, with The Tragically Hip's Paul Langlois and Robby Baker and guitarist - as they shared the same manager, Bernie Breen from Bernie Breen Music Management, as well as Eric Johnson also making appearances. The band's second album The Pleasure and the Greed (released in 2001) was marred by poor marketing and was not as big a hit as their debut album, especially in the United States. The band broke up a year later. Thornley moved back to Toronto, launching the band Thornley. Doherty is now living in Camlachie, a small community near Sarnia, Ontario, and is now teaching guitar to kids in that area. Doherty has also gone on to be in the indie band Death of 8, but the other band members have not yet emerged with new projects. Hard rock band Submersed and American Idol winner David Cook have both cited the band as an influence.
- Big Wreck war eine Neo-Progressive Hard-Rock-Band in den späten 1990er Jahren. Die Bandmitglieder, bestehend aus dem Leadsänger Ian Thornley, dem Gitarristen Brian Doherty, Bassist Dave Henning und Drummer Forrest Williams, gründeten die Band Big Wreck 1996 in Boston, Massachusetts in ihrer Studentenzeit am Berklee College of Music. Nach vielen kleineren Auftritten in Boston und Cambridge unterschrieben sie bei einem Major Label und brachten darauf 1997 ihr Debütalbum In Loving Memory Of... auf den Markt. Die Single The Oaf platzierte sich in den Top 10 der amerikanischen Charts und war ein großer Erfolg für die Band. Andere Singleauskopplungen konnten in den USA nicht an den Erfolg von The Oaf anknüpfen. Im Gegenzug konnten Big Wreck in Kanada weitere Erfolge mit den zuvor gescheiterten USA-Singleauskopplungen vorweisen und landete weitere Top 10 Hits. Im Oktober 2001 spielten Big Wreck in der Roy Thompson Hall zusammen mit dem Symphonieorchester, den Uzume Taiko Ensemble Drummers und den The Tragically Hip's Paul Langlois und Robby Baker. Das zweite Album der Band, The Pleasure and the Greed, welches 2001 erschien, hatte wegen schlechten Marketings in den USA und Kanada kaum kommerzielle Beachtung. Bereits ein Jahr später löste sich die Band auf. Ian Thornley, seinerseits Kanadier, kehrte nach Toronto zurück und gründete die Band Thornley. Gitarrist Brian Doherty lebt in Camlachie, einer kleinen Gemeinde in der Nähe von Sarnia, Ontario, und ist als Gitarrenlehrer für Kinder tätig. Doherty ist außerdem Mitglied der Indie-Band Death of 8. Bassist Dave Henning und Drummer Forrest Williams verfolgen keine musikalischen Engagements mehr.
