After two close-but-no-cigar attempts I finally received Three Days Grace's self-titled debut album as a lala trade in the mail today. As I was enjoying it (now some hours ago) I thought this might be the perfect time to forge some neural pathways to help me distinguish for once and for all between fave bands Three Days Grace and Seven Mary Three.
Three Days Grace is a Toronto-based outfit formed in 1997 by three members of a previous incarnation Groundswell: Adam Gontier (vocals, guitar), Brad Walst (bass), and Neil Sanderson (drums). A second guitarist Barry Stock subsequently joined the band, being recorded for the first time on the band's 2006 sophomore outing One-X. Singles from 2003/s Three Days Grace included "I Hate Everyting About You," "Just Like You," "Home," and "Overrated." One-X has given us the #1 Modern Rock hit "Animal I Have Become" as well as "Pain" ("Pain without love / Pain I can't get enough / Pain I like it rough / Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all") and the anti-suicide anthem ubiquitous on Top 40 radio "Never Too Late." And oh (how could I forget?) "Riot":If you feel so emptySo used up so let downIf you feel so angrySo ripped off so stepped onYou're not the only oneRefusing to back downYou're not the only oneSo get upLet's start a riot, a riotLet's start a riotLet's start a riot, a riotLet's start a riotAccording to Rhapsody Three Days Grace's pedigree runs Rock/Pop > Metal > Alt Metal, and Mike McGuirk further situates them as "[l]ouder and angrier than many of their peers, the band falls somewhere between the mechanical rage of Trapt and the sing-able hipness of Saliva."
