Originally known as Groundswell when they were in their teens, they were a five-piece band that started in 1992, transfoming into the trio known as Three Days Grace in 1997.
From Norwood, Ontario, Canada, many of their songs were inspired by living in a place where the population was around 1500 people. The bandmembers were still in high school when they had their first gig, and they performed anywhere that would accept them — including opening for a movie.
The trio eventually relocated to Toronto, where they were introduced to Gavin Brown, a producer, by their old manager. They played a private set for him and by the time it was over, they were signed onto a contract.
All of them are recovering addicts, and many of their songs have a dual meaning.
