Info for Big Wreck 7.1
The five-song Big Wreck: 7.1 marks the first entry in a three-EP series from Big Wreck. It was produced by Thornley and Eric Ratz, who produced the band's 2019 LP …but for the sun.
The explosive "Bombs Away" is the first track to arrive from Big Wreck: 7.1, and as Thornley shares in a statement, it began from a riff that had been around for years.
"It was a riff that Brian (Doherty) brought up during a soundcheck a few years back, and I had all but forgotten about it," he explains. "That riff is what you hear in the intro to the song, and gave birth to the ideas that now shape Bombs Away. The song has a relevance to the landscape of today. And another example of how Brian is still with us, in our songs, and our souls."
Big Wreck is a Canadian-American rock band formed by Ian Thornley in Boston, Massachusetts in 1994. They disbanded in 2002 and Ian Thornley pursued a solo career with his own band Thornley. In 2010, Ian Thornley and Brian Doherty reunited for a cross-Canada tour, playing both Big Wreck and Thornley songs. Big Wreck began releasing new music again in 2012. Doherty passed away in 2019.
Big Wreck
Big Wreck
was formed in Boston in the early 90’s by Toronto-native (guitars / vocals) Ian Thornley and Americans Brian Doherty (guitars), Forrest Williams (drums) and Dave Henning (bass), students at the Berkley School of Music. Their 1997 debut album, In Loving Memory, is certified double platinum in Canada and featured the chart topping singles “Blown Wide Open,” “That Song” and “The Oaf”.
In 2002, the band broke up following the release of their sophomore album, The Pleasure and The Greed, after which Ian Thornley formed the band Thornley who also enjoyed rock radio success with several singles.
In 2010, Brian Doherty filled in on guitar at a Thornley show and shortly thereafter, he and Ian started working on new material that would be, once again, christened Big Wreck. Their first single as a reunited Big Wreck, “Albatross,” became the band’s first #1 single at Rock radio in Canada. Since then, they have released three new Big Wreck albums (Albatross – 2012; Ghosts – 2014; Grace Street – 2017). In the winter of 2018 Big Wreck began recording their sixth studio album with producer Erik Ratz. It was during the recording that Doherty was diagnosed with cancer which tragically took his life this past Spring after the new album was completed. Big Wreck’s latest album will be released later this summer followed by extensive touring. The release of the album was preceded by the Top 5 Rock Radio hit “Locomotive.”
This album contains no booklet.
