While shocking to fans, Three Days Grace quickly sought out Brad’s brother Matt Walst as a what was thought to be a temporary replacement for Gontier. He later admitted that after being with the same band for twenty years, it was time to find a new musical experience for himself outside of the group. There are many bumps and patches down the road, and shortly after the release of Transit of Venus, Gontier abruptly decided to leave the band. To maintain the same career and relationship for nearly twenty years is not promised to be a sustainable path for all. Initially started as a one of a kind Alternative Metal act consisting of members Barry Stock (guitar), Neil Sanderson (drums, percussion, keyboards), Brad Walst (bass) and Adam Gontier (lead vocals), Three Days Grace’s style has progressed with an incorporated mix of Electronic Rock and Post Grunge elements. Continuing success, they have been consistent pushing out a new album that has reached platinum and gold status ever since with 2006’s One-X, 2009’s Life Starts Now, and 2012’s Transit of Venus. Their self-titled debut album in 2003 flourished in Rock charts with their hit single, “I Hate Everything About You,” among others.

The Norwood, Ontario, Canada based band Three Days Grace is known to be one of the biggest mainstream acts in Modern Rock history.
