Thornley, a Canadian alternative rock band, was formed in 2002 by Ian Thornley following Big Wreck's hiatus. Collaborating with Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, they signed to 604 Records and released their debut album Come Again in 2004, which was certified gold in Canada. The album featured the singles "So Far So Good" and "Come Again", both certified Gold. Thornley toured extensively across North America, supporting acts like Three Days Grace and Nickelback, and were nominated for two Juno Awards: New Group of the Year and Rock Album of the Year. In 2009, they released their second album Tiny Pictures. The band performed at the Paralympics in Vancouver in March 2010. Following a successful Canadian tour titled An Evening with Thornley and Big Wreck, the band members effectively became part of Big Wreck.
