Gourt Home::Gourt :: Three Days Grace
Three Days Grace is a Canadian band formed in Norwood, Ontario in 1997. The band consists of members Adam Gontier (vocals and guitar), Brad Walst (bass), Neil Sanderson (drums), and Barry Stock (guitar). They originally formed as a quintet in 1992 under the name Groundswell; they changed their name to Three Days Grace and became a trio in 1997. The group moved from Norwood to Toronto and met producer Gavin Brown, formerly of the band Big Sugar. Brown helped produce their self-titled debut album, Three Days Grace, which was released in 2003; it reached the top ten of the Canadian albums chart, the top 100 of the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart, and number-one on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart. Upon completion of the album the band recruited Stock. The album's hit lead single, "I Hate Everything About You", reached number-one in Canada and the top ten in the U.S. The second single "Just Like You", gave the group a second number-one in Canada. A third single, "Home", was also released. A fourth single, "Wake Up", was only released in Canada.
Brown won a Juno Award in 2004 (see Juno Awards of 2004) for his production on the album and his work on Try Honesty by the band Billy Talent. Three Days Grace was also nominated for best New Group Of The Year but lost to Billy Talent.
On March 31, 2006, the band released their first single off of their album One-X entitled "Animal I Have Become." One-X was released on June 13, 2006, and landed at # 5 on the U.S. Billboard 200. The band is scheduled to tour with Staind now that it has been released.
