Three Days Grace
Biography
The members of Three Days Grace began bashing punk chords when they were in their teens, carving a derivative yet energetic sound that fueled their live performances. Three Days Grace was formed in Norwood, Ontario, Canada, in 1997 by Adam Gontier (vocals, guitar), Brad Walst (bass), and Neil Sanderson (drums). The group was originally called Groundswell, a five-piece that lasted from 1992 until transforming to a trio five years later. Gontier and Walst were raised in Norwood, and many of their songs were inspired by living in a place with a population of around 1,500. The bandmembers were still in high school when they had their first gig, and they performed anywhere that would accept them -- including opening for a movie.
Three Days Grace eventually relocated to Toronto and were introduced to producer Gavin Brown by their old manager. The band gave Brown a private set, and he selected what he felt were the most promising tracks. The group then produced a demo for EMI Music Publishing Canada. With Brown at the helm, Three Days Grace recorded "(I Hate) Everything About You." The tune got them a publishing deal with EMI, and they soon were signed to Jive after being courted by the company's president. Brown and Three Days Grace were sent to a studio in Boston, MA, to start the group's debut album. The band completed its self-titled full-length in Woodstock, NY, at an isolated location free from big-city distractions. Heavily influenced by Kyuss and Sunny Day Real Estate, the dark, angst-ridden tales of small-town love and hate on Three Days Grace brought the group a Next Big Thing tag.
Three Days Grace was released on July 22, 2003, by which time "(I Hate) Everything About You" was already hit on alternative radio stations in Canada. The band toured extensively behind the record for the next two years as both a support act and headliners, but after a while, life on the road left the band, especially Gontier, feeling isolated and alone. Consequently, this theme of disconnection -- coupled with the realization that one was in fact not alone -- would serve as the basis for their follow-up album. Getting back to their roots by writing the record in the Ontario countryside, One-X was released in June 2006. The album, which hit number five on the Billboard Top 200, marked the recorded debut of the band's second guitarist, Barry Stock. Three Days Grace supported One-X through the summer on dates alongside Staind, Hoobastank, and Nickelback, while "Animal I Have Become" became a number one modern rock hit. ~ Michael Sutton, All Music Guide

|
||
WHY FIGHT? Three days grace is great<3 Take it from a smart girl.....jk

Alright Alright I've decided to come clean. To tell you the truth I don't really hate three days grace even though they aren't very original. They do their sound reasonably well if a bit boring. I just can't pass up a good scrape It's the bulldog in me I guess and The only reason I dislike Canada is because of all the America haters up there really. Hope that clears it up and Gym class heroes is a decent band even though I don't listen to them much. I keep them on their so I can remember their n
|
||

|
||
wow! that was harsh for a scrawny little man like yourself. Little in many more ways than one. Why are you such a hater? and why are they letting you out of the nursing home? Try taking your blind fold off so you can see how great three days grace really is.
|
||
Balls where all I see is some retard who loves cartel, red jumpsuit apparatus and a bunch of really crappy bands go back into the closet where you belong.
That and Rob Zombie is not a devil worshiper he just found his own place in music with his own sound and he marketed it. Unlike Three Days Grace |
||
Thanks but I already have some balls, and i'm not the only one that can prove it!
Dude! Quit dissing on Canada. so what if their health care system sucks, I have met a ton of cool Canadians. Mass waz bands come from Canada too so suck it! I hate listening to devil worshiping bands such as Rob Zombie. Have you ever been to one of their concerts? You would change your mind if you had any desent morals. Three days grace is the bestest thing ever, and I have some balls to prove it. |
||
Alright everyone who thinks three days grace is the "bestest" thing ever GO GROW SOME BALLS and listen to someone worth listening to like Korn, Orgy, Rob Zombie, or System of a Down and to many more to list.Three days Grace is amateur hour compared to them. Oh yeah Canada sucks their so freaking full of f*gs and their health care system sucks as well. The only reason their even still around is because we would protect them in a war otherwise they would have been conquered a long time ago
