Music News Digest: Big Wreck Named 2025 Record Store Day Canada Ambassadors

Also making our Canadian music news roundup this week: Change of Heart's return, the Dead South's big year and more.

Big Wreck have been named 2025 Record Store Day Canada ambassadors. The Canadian rock band will also be releasing their 2012 album Albatross on vinyl for the first time in deluxe 2xLP limited-edition featuring live and unreleased music as a Record Store Day exclusive. The album was certified Gold and was their biggest hit since In Loving Memory Of… in 1997 and its big shiny rock radio staple "That Song." The title track of Albatross has also gone Platinum.

"It's a great honour for Big Wreck to be Record Store Day Ambassadors,” says Big Wreck leader Ian Thornley. "We grew up going to record stores and building our vinyl collections and it means a lot to us to continue the tradition. It’s especially exciting to be putting Albatross out into the world for the first time on vinyl. That record holds a special place."
