Three Days Grace

Description

Humanity constantly seeks connection. In fact, it's almost as essential as breathing. Since first catapulting on to the scene in 2003, Three Days Grace consistently connected to audiences via hard-hitting, honest, and hypnotic anthems. The platinum-selling, chart-topping, record-setting quartet—Matt Walst [lead vocals], Barry Stock [lead guitar], Brad Walst [bass], and Neil Sanderson [drums, percussion, keyboards, programming]—once again continue that tradition on their fifth full-length album, HUMAN [RCA Records]. Their link to listeners is the most natural and human thing of all. 
Seizing that signature spirit, the first two singles from HUMAN, "Painkiller" and "I Am Machine," both shot to #1 at Active Rock Radio. They became the band's 12th and 13th number ones and solidified them as the record-holder for "Most Number Ones at Active Rock." 
With its robust refrain and gnashing guitars, "Painkiller" didn't simply reintroduce Three Days Grace; rather it reaffirmed their place at the forefront of 21st century hard rock. 
The Three Days Grace machine never stops. 2012's Transit Of Venus earned the #1 spot on Billboard's Hard Rock Chart and went Top 5 on the Top 200, in addition to receiving a nomination for "Best Rock Album of the Year" at the Juno Awards. Both Three Days Grace [2003] and One-X [2006] went platinum, while Life Starts Now [2009] reached gold status, bringing the band's sales to over 6 million in the U.S. alone. Their catalog of number one hits encompasses smashes such as "Chalk Outline," "The High Road," "Misery Loves My Company," "World So Cold," "Good Life," "Break," "Never Too Late," "Animal I Have Become," "Pain," "Just Like You," and "Home." 
Ultimately, HUMAN sees Three Days Grace connect once again. “We want to help people through tough times with our music,” concludes Matt. “It’s therapy for us, and hopefully it’s the same for everybody listening.” 
“We went back to our roots,” Neil leaves off. “We weren’t afraid to be blunt and tap into true emotion. We try not to write lyrics; we try to write conversations. These songs are what you would actually say to somebody. That’s why they resonate. The greatest thing in the world is making that connection to people.”
