I loved this concert! The opening groups were Devour The Day and Finger Eleven both of whom put on great shows with Devour being a bit higher in energy. Soon after the release, the band hopped on tour with Buckcherry and Nickelback on the Dark Horse Fall Tour 2010.Īfter releasing their fourth album “Transit of Venus” (2012), Gontier announced his departure in 2013 and the following year was replaced by Matt Walst as Three Days Grace welcomed a new chapter and dimension to the band as they continue to evolve their sound.

Selling over 75,000 copies alone in the first week of release, the album peaked at number three in the Billboard Top 200. Supporting the release of the album, the band toured across Canada and US for the latter part of 2006 and the majority of 2007.Īcquiring a novelty release pattern of a three year gap, Three Days Grace released their third album “Life Starts Now” in 2009 to mixed reviews with some critics praising Gontier’s ability to shed light on his personal demons with artistic integrity. The album churned out the hit singles “Animal I Have Become”, “Pain” and “Never Too Late”. With a successful debut, the band spent the next two years touring nationwide.Ģ006 came the release of their second album “One-X” which explored more of a metal infusion as Three Days Grace continued receiving critical acclaim as the album peaked at number five in the Billboard Top 200. The album featured the singles “Home”, “Just Like You” and the breakthrough track “(I Hate) Everything About You” which rapidly became a radio hit. Later in 2003, the band would release their debut self-titled album which peaked at number nine in the Canadian music charts and certified platinum. In 2003 the band signed with Jive Records. With the label showing remarkable interest and eager to hear more material from the guys, in the process they created the track “(I Hate) Everything About You”. It was Brown who helped them to create the demos which would catch the attention of EMI Publishing Canada.

With the relocation, the trio soon became acquainted with local producer Gavin Brown.

At the time the line-up consisted of Adam Gontier (vocals, guitar), Neil Sanderson (drums) and Brad Walst (bass). Having run its course under the name Groundswell, members relocated to Toronto, Canada under the new name Three Days Grace in 1997.
