History
Wave of Popular Feeling (1992-1995)
Wave of Popular Feeling was recorded up until 1992 and released in 1995 under the band name of Groundswell, a precursor to the current Three Days Grace. Around 150 copies of the album were released. Shortly after release, Groundswell disbanded. Groundswell's line-up included five members: Adam Gontier (vocals, guitar), Neil Sanderson (backing vocals, drums), Brad Walst (bass), Phil Crowe (guitar) and Joe Grant (guitar). At this time, Neil Sanderson also played in Trevor McNevan's first band called Oddball.
Demo (1997-2002)
In 1997, Adam Gontier, Neil Sanderson, and Brad Walst united again to continue their musical work together. Originally a cover band, the trio named the band Three Days Grace. The meaning is derived from a sense of urgency as Adam Gontier explains:
"We sort of look at Three Days Grace, as it sort of stands for sense of urgency. Time to pay a debt. If you had three days to change something in your life or if [you] wanted to changed something in your life, could you do it in three days?" 3
With the help of Thousand Foot Krutch's Trevor McNevan, Three Days Grace recorded a four-track demo album, which released about one hundred copies. Three Days Grace first toured with Thousand Foot Krutch as their opening band.
Three Days Grace (2003-2005)
Upon completion of their first album, self-titled Three Days Grace, the band recruited Barry Stock to help with lead guitar, allowing Gontier breathing room on stage and on tour.2 The album's lead single, "I Hate Everything About You," reached number two on the US Modern Rock charts, number one on the Mainstream Rock charts, and number two on the Canadian Rock charts. Their second single, "Just Like You," gave the group a second number-one in Canada as well as gaining number one status on U.S. rock charts. This was soon followed by the release of the single, "Home," which turned out to be another radio success for the band.
In 2004, Gavin Brown won a Juno Award for his production work on Three Days Grace and "Try Honesty" by Billy Talent.4
One-X (2006-present)
In 2005, Gontier was sent into rehababilitation for an addiction to the painkiller, Oxycodone. The song "Gone Forever" is based on Gontier's life without the drug. During his time spent in rehabilitation, Gontier wrote several songs which he introduced to the band when he returned in 2006. The band then released the album One-X which includes several of Gontier's songs including: "Pain", "Animal I Have Become", "Riot", "Never Too Late", and "Over and Over."
In 2007, Gontier recorded a song called "I Don't Care" with the band Apocalyptica. During this time, the band also went on tour with bands Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Seether, Skillet, Red and Econoline Crush. Live on stage, Gontier has also sung Amy Lee's duet part with Seether in the song "Broken". In addition, Gontier worked with with Breaking Benjamin's Benjamin Burnley to sing "Dance with the Devil" on tour.
On August 11, 2008, the band posted a commercial for their first live DVD, entitled Live at the Palace, on their MySpace page. The DVD, released on Tuesday, August 19, 2008, is available exclusively at Best Buy in the United States and across all major retailers in Canada.5
On October 7, 2008, Adam Gontier lent his voice to Avaaz.org, along with other Canadian singers, in an effort to raise hope and awareness about Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper's stance on climate change. The song also featured Ed of Barenaked Ladies, Ryan of Hawksley Workman, Ben of Billy Talent, Jason of Broken Social Scene and many others.citation needed
