The Canadian Style Of Rock: 3 Days Grace


Three Days Grace is a Canadian alternative rock band which I haven't heard before I started Koç. As I learned from my friends in Koç, many of them are fans of Three Days Grace. That is actually the reason I wanted to write about the band. I downloaded some songs of the rock band. They are really good songs, indeed. So now, I'm one of the Three Days Grace Fans too:D. The band was formed under the name of Groundswell in Ontario, Canada in 1992. The band consists of Adam Gontier, Neil Sanderson, Brad Walst, and Barry Stock. After years of success, in 2005 Adam Gontier was sent into rehab because of his addiction to Oxycodone. The song, "Gone Forever" is written about the Gontier's life without the drug. During rehab, Gontier had written several songs and once he returned to the band in 2006, they released the album One-X. It includes "Pain", "Animal I Have Become", "Riot", "Never Too Late", "Over and Over"
In 2007, Gontier recorded a song called "I Don't Care" with the band Apocalyptica. The entire band was recently on tour with Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Skillet, Red and Econoline Crush. Also, live, Gontier has sung with Seether in the song "Broken". He sings it as a duet by singing Amy Lee's part. In addition, Gontier teamed with Breaking Benjamin's Benjamin Burnley to sing "Dance With the Devil" on tour.

I have never listened to Three Days Grace before but after this post, they seemed kind of interesting to me.
