Gregg was a friend of Thornley's father, who works as a graphic designer in Toronto. Thornley's dad passed a Big Wreck demo tape to a friend, who relayed it to Gregg. Thornley, who had always been 'just a guitar player', had to learn how to sing just before recording their debut album. To date the group has sold more than 200,000 copies of their debut in Canada. Big Wreck is currently recording their follow-up album, which is due out in early 2000.
