No sorry they have A good song that’s about it

@@bmark7951 You are so incredibly wrong

@@cameronreyno7175 Amazing talents, they just never found their own lane with this song as an exception. ‘Blown Wide Open’ for instance has much “Champagne Supernova”. Black Crowes, Soundgarden (Albatross/Burden in My Hand) and other (maybe unintentionally) borrowed elements in so many songs. Never found a signature, which frankly happens with a lot of Berklee alums - head and history informs songs vs uncolored instinct. Love this band but also mourn the songs they could’ve written going a unique path.

@@bmark7951 you're insane man

I’ve seen them live a few times and they are amazing live. Ian Thornley is an exceptional musician and his guitar playing and vocals are well beyond most other frontmen you will see.

69..Our band covers this, Ghosts, and The Oaf.. This band is so underrated.

would love to see them

I'm all jelly beans

Ya, looks like it was pretty magical.

Get Ian to come to Andy’s Woodshed this next year!

Uncle Ben... You need to teach us some of Ian's tasty licks!

+lestera34 Me too.

@@acousticguy1 mee too

JayyBird Me too!

Same

Same here

Yeah man what's up with this. It sounds incredible and they're playing is perfect too so it's like performance and great audio work at the same time. Frampton Comes Alive-ish synergy. Nice!

Facts.

Each instrument isn't sonically too seperate from eachother, unlike mixes today which are sterile and 'cleaned up' too much, all the instruments feel connected and glued together, could be a characteristic of the mixing baord.

I klnow man. Something about this damn song. Makes me feel good. I love that songggggggggg........

Its never you, you'll ruin those, memories

Cant pound the like button enough !

I couldn't agree more, this is my go to!!! Cheers!

I can't wait for the new album.

Me either, gonna be great!!

He spent years trying to find a solid backing band. And he's finally got it. He's only getting better vocally too it seems. They're totally in their prime.

Totally fucking incredible, no matter who is on stage. It can be hard to find players though, damn hard to find players at that level!

If you grew up in Canada in the 90s youd have heard them on the radio

@@slickmechanical It doesn't seem like they had much success in the US market, which is a damn shame.

@@rage12345678 honestly ive always considered their music to have a very Canadian sensibility to it. Lots of reverb and crunchy tone. Check out Sam Roberts' first album We Were Born in a Flame for more Canadian gold

@joanneanderson4190 I was there!!!

I found them a few years ago. Can't believe they never made it.

Thank you for that. Are you from the US? Big Wreck did good on the local level up here, & I couldn't agree with you more, shitty promotion. Canada & the US have some stupid radio rule on content played across the border. Not govt, but some idiotic thing through broadcasters or something. Keep loving it brother. Rock on.

In another era I think they would have been global. The trouble is the only music promoted on radio & TV is the stuff that sells related merchandise. People literally don't know what they are missing.

Ian was pretty candid in an interview he did with Lee Anderton here on his youtube channel. The first album in 97 got them a foothold in the US. It was huge in Canada. There was 4 years between the first and sophomore records. Pleasure and Greed came out in 01. Ian said they collectively felt the pressure of trying to come up with a record that was as good or better. It led to in-fighting. The label didn't like it much, "don't hear a hit" stuff. In fairness, the record isn't as good. That discord within the group made Ian leave. He did his own thing for a while, was asked about auditioning for Slash to be the front man (who would end up being Myles Kennedy), and eventually they came back to each other. When they hit the scene, music was still heavily driven by instruments and actually playing them. It's not the case anymore, which is a shame - and not just for them.

@@scooter2329 They never made it? What? They absolutely did. One of the most recognized post-grunge band. And they're one hell of a post-grunge band I must say.

Not Bon Scott?? C'mon man!

VanIsleNuckFan I meant that is still alive

@@theclanmorrison Makes more sense now =)

Lmao

Just found them a week ago.

That is the mark of a great band.. when they play it live better than it was recorded.

Agreed..I just discovered another Canadian band called Rush. Also have skill and art. Drummer is named Neil Peart.

+CaapriceTube he makes me think Chris Cornell and Benicio del Toro had a love child. :)

+Tom Burke, EXACTLY!!

CaapriceTube absolutely! I was just about to post that I always used to think this was a Chris Cornell song, lol. Both are awesome xx

CaapriceTube they are moth amazing singers/musician. Rip chris

That whole cd helped me through my awkward teenage phase

Yup. Sometimes thats all you need. Not as easy to find those type of drummer's as you would think. They all wanna be too proggy....Just play the song. That song;)

Weird comparasson but I guess you're right

Have you heard their latest!?? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otV7oLyhppjVlnU.html

Agreed!

I know what you mean, listened to this song in an airport in San Diego waiting for a flight with my ex who just told me she didn't love me anymore. Talk about an appropriate song to listen to.

I'd like to know what radio universe you live in. I sadly can't even conceive of being able to pry the Queen, Motley Crue, and Journey out of the cold dead hands of radio DJs in my universe.

@@johndannenbrink361here in Ontario there’s at least 2 big wreck songs a day on our local rock station it’s awesome

Pocket book Brando, like Marlon Brando...

what does pocket book brando mean?

@@SillyGoose2024 Since the first time I heard this song, I've always wondered what he, himself, meant with that line. The following is all speculation and I have no clue, so take this with a pinch of salt. I've heard that it is referring to the actual Marlon Brando, and that the term sorta means some dude who has lots of contacts and "friends" but never really calls or makes time for them. Acquaintances guised as close personal friends. I don't know much Marlon Brando lore, so perhaps this was a well-known tendency of the guy back in the day - him being hot and cold, aloof, and acting like people who aren't close are his best friends? I really don't know his intent, but the way my brain has always perceived it is sorta like "Meh, he's just some dude I know". Like a sort of friend-zone type of person. My name being Brandon and being called Brando a thousand times in my life, it strikes me every time I hear him sing that, and I end up personalizing it. If I ever became friends with the man, that'd be the one question I have about his music. *shrug* Would love to know.

@@CumulusBurn Well u could asked him. A couple of months ago a guitar teacher i sometimes watch did a live.youtube and his special guest was none other than ian himself.i got to ask ian one question which was were you(him) ever a fan of frank zappa

@@SillyGoose2024 Niice! I’ll start tracking down some of his interviews. I don’t know much about him.

Did you miss their 3 dates in Texas December 2023?

Ugh man don’t even mention it!!! I’ve never seen them live! I thought they disappeared and suddenly I found them alive on KZfaq! I promise to be be on the look out! Just bought the entire catalogue on mp3…I lost the 1sr and 2nd album cd’s….

+betbuk Already there. Peace.

+tonepoet new find for me too. last few hours....Jeff Martin brought me here ( That's the way cover w Ian)

Agreed!
