As I walked out of the pit at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, the sounds of “that tune” still ringing in my ears, I recalled the sound from my formative years that ignited my desire to become a musician.
Big Wreck, while not the flashiest band, is the embodiment of true rock and roll. Soulful melodies, intricate progressions, and of course the searing solo work from frontman Ian Thornley which defined a musical style born in my time.
