About
Hard-rock band, Big Wreck began during the 90’s in Boston, Massachusetts. The line-up was comprised of Ian Thornley on vocals and guitars, Brian Doherty on guitar, Dave Henning on bass and Forrest Williams on drums. The four attended Berklee College majoring in Music. The quartet spent their time on playing their music rather than attending classes. The Big Wreck later on decided to quit school to pursue music fulltime. They played gigs around Cambridge and Boston also in other clubs. In 1997, Atlantic Records signed them in releasing their debut, In Loving Memory Of..., later that year. It was followed by their follow-up album, The Pleasure and the Greed in 2001.
