This Alternative-Rock band was formed in late 1997 in Norwood, Ontario
CANADA by three members of the five-piece outfit called Groundswell: vocalist
+ guitarist Adam Gontier, bass player Brad Walst and drummer Neil Sanderson.
Relocating to Toronto, the threesome recorded a 3-track demo disc which
was sold off-stage at concerts; they eventually scored a deal with EMI
in their homeland, signed a contract with major U.S. label, Jive Records
in September 2002 and soon the guys were ready for their international
debut.
They recorded the single, "(I Hate) Everything About You", that
helped their self-titled debut album rocket into the top 10 of the Canadian
National chart upon its release in mid-2003; the record reached the #69
spot on The Billboard 200 Albums list while the first single hit #2 on
The Modern Rock chart and #4 on The Mainstream Rock Tracks. Around this
time the group decided to expand the line-up to include Barry Stock on
guitar, Three Days Grace toured North-America several times with contemporary
Rock acts such as Theory Of A Deadman
and Thornley. Over the course of 2004, two
more singles off of the album stormed the Billboard's Rock charts, "Home"
peaked at #2 on the alt-Rock radio list and #9 on The Mainstream Rock
Tracks; "Just Like You" rose to the top spots on both the same
charts.
June 2006 saw the rease of the band's sophomore album, "One-X";
the 12-track set was an instant smash hitting #2 in Canada and #5 in U.S.
trailed by "Animal I Have Become" which shot to #1 on both The
Hot Modern Rock and The Hot Mainstream Rock charts. That November "Pain",
equaled the chart performance the album's preceding track and the third
single, "Never Too Late", followed in its predecessors footsteps
at #1 on the Active Rock radio chart and fell just shy of topping The
Hot Modern Rock Tracks. In November 2007, the Hot Mainstream Rock top
20 hit "Riot", was the final single to be released from the
group's second platinum CD.
Three Days Grace will be releasing their upcoming album "Life Starts
Now" on September 22. The set features 12 brand-new songs including
the first single to be taken from it, "Break".
