History

Three Days Grace (2003-2005)

Upon completion of their first album, self-titled Three Days Grace, the band recruited Barry Stock to help with lead guitar to give Adam breathing room on stage and on tour.[5] The album's lead single, "I Hate Everything About You" reached number two on the US Modern Rock and number four on the Mainstream Rock charts and number two on the Canadian Rock charts (because of local radio play at The Wolf 101.5 FM). Their second single "Just Like You" gave the group a second number-one in Canada and also hit number one on rock charts in the US. This was soon followed by the release of the single "Home" which also turned out to be a radio success.

In 2004, Gavin Brown won a Juno Award for his production work on Three Days Grace and "Try Honesty" by Billy Talent.

One-X (2006-present)

In 2005, the lead singer of Three Days Grace, Adam Gontier, was sent into rehab for an addiction to the pain killer Oxycontin. During rehab, Adam 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" and "Get Out Alive".

In 2007, Adam recorded a song called "I Don't Care" with the band Apocalyptica. The entire band is currently on tour with Breaking Benjamin and Seether, two similar modern rock bands. Also, live, Adam has sung with Seether in the song "Broken". He sings it as a duet by singing Amy Lee's part.
