Nothing did more to further the cause of Alternative Nation-building than 120 Minutes, MTV’s Sunday-night video showcase of non-mainstream acts. For nearly two decades, the program spanned musical eras from ’80s college rock to ’00s indie, with grunge, Britpop, punk, industrial, electronica and more in between. MAGNET raids the vaults to resurrect our 120 favorite and unjustly forgotten videos from the show’s classic era.
My wife and I are really glad to see these guys back together...and performing BOTH Big Wreck and Thornley music together. We're hoping to get tickets for their show in May.

Love Big Wreck. Although, I thought I heard they didn't actually get back together. I heard that the guitarist from Big Wreck filled in at a Thornley show, and him and Ian Thornley kind of became friends again after a falling out.
Then they started writing their next album with that guitarist from Big Wreck, and were basically making a Thornley album until so many people bugged Ian to call it a Big Wreck album, that he evenually did just that.
I could be wrong, but as far as I know it's a combination of Big Wreck and Thornley.

Either way, it's a win / win, in my opinion. The music from both is great! There is a write-up on the website about the "history." Maybe that will help clear up any miscommunication.
