Three Days Grace
Sep 19, 2011
Three Days Grace is a Canadian rock band, formed in Norwood, Ontario, Canada in 1992, originally under the name Groundswell. After a breakup in late 1997, the band regrouped in the same year under its current name and with a line-up consisting of guitarist and lead vocalist Adam Gontier, drummer and backing vocalist Neil Sanderson, and bassist Brad Walst. In 2003, Barry Stock was recruited as the band's lead guitarist.
After signing to Jive Records, Three Days Grace has released three studio albums: Three Days Grace in 2003, One-X in 2006, and their most recent Life Starts Now in 2009. The albums have been certified platinum, double platinum, and gold, respectively, in the United States.
Life Starts Now debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, Three Days Grace's highest chart position, and sold 79,000 copies in its first week and was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2010 Juno awards. The first single from the album, "Break", was released on September 1, 2009. Three Days Grace embarked on a 20-date Canadian tour lasting through November and December 2009 and co-headlined a January-February 2010 tour of the US with Breaking Benjamin and Flyleaf.
"Lost In You" is the fourth single released from the album on February 1st, 2011. Much like "Never Too Late", it will be a crossover song to top 40 radio. The song is also the band's first entry into adult contemporary stations. "Lost In You" is considered a bit of a departure for the hard-rocking band. The song expresses a more affectionate sentiment than is typically found in the band's music. While electric guitars still play a prominent role, the focus is on Adam Gontier's voice and a well written melody.
The band released an EP via online download on March 15th 2011 to help promote the fourth single. It contains the piano version of "World So Cold" and a cover of the Fleetwood Mac song "The Chain". They are currently touring with Avenged Sevenfold, Seether, and Bullet for My Valentine on the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar tour from August 2011 to October 2011.
