After Big Wreck broke up, Ian Thornley came back with "So Far So Good", the first single he released after the split and the lead single from Come Again, the debut album by his new Canadian band, Thornley. Roadrunner put it out in March 2004, and it's a sturdy slab of post-grunge that sounds like a man getting back on his feet.
It was a hit on both sides of the border, climbing to number three on the Canadian rock airplay chart; by the end of 2004, only seven songs had been played more on Canadian rock radio. It also turned up on the soundtrack to that year's comedy Going the Distance, and its opening riff has done duty in commercials for the radio station CFNY-FM.
