Divine Right was a progressive rock band, kind of a mix between Rush, Metallic & U2! Progressive but melodic!. We played allot of venues and had a real nice 5 song Demo called "Humble Beginnings". We shopped it to many A&R guys but they were still looking for "pretty boy" glam rock bands back then. As usual, after 5 years of trying to get signed, we got frustrated without anybody getting back to us, so we decided to call it quits. 6 months later both Brian & Dave moved up to Boston and went to Berkley to create the Band "BIG WRECK". They were signed by Atlantic, put out 2 albums and did allot of touring up in Canada as that was were they were really popular. After the 2nd album and not much "backing" here in the states, Atlantic dropped them and they broke up.
I still keep in touch with Brian the guitarist who now lives in Canada and Jim the singer who still lives here in New York. Give a listen and tell me what you think. The songs are hosted at a site that is dedicated to Ian Thornley who after leaving Big Wreck, was signed again and is putting out his 2nd album soon.
DIVINE RIGHT
