Three Days Grace (also known as 3DG or TDG) is a Canadian hard rock/post-grunge band formed in 1997. The band consists of Adam Gontier, Neil Sanderson, Brad Walst and Barry Stock.

Originally formed as a quintet in 1992 under the name "Groundswell", they changed their name to Three Days Grace and became a trio in 1997. They released a 3 song self titled demo in 2000. The group moved from Norwood to Toronto and met producer Gavin Brown, formerly of the band Big Sugar. Brown helped produce their self-titled debut album, Three Days Grace, which was released in 2003; it reached the top ten of the American albums chart, the top 100 of the Canadian Billboard 200 albums chart, and number-one on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart. Upon completion of the album the band recruited Barry Stock to help on lead guitar to give Adam breathing room on stage and on tour. The album's lead single, "I Hate (Everything About You)", reached number one on the US Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts and number two on the Canadian Rock charts. The second single, "Just Like You", gave the group a second number-one in America and also hit number one on rock charts in Canada. Their third single, "Home", was also a hit, charting at #2 on the US Modern Rock chart, and was the second most played Active Rock song of 2005. A fourth single, "Wake Up," was only released in Canada and also achieved success on the Canadian Rock chart. Videos for the first three singles were widely played on MTV, MTV2, Muchmusic and Fuse.
