Groundswell released one full - length album, Wave of Popular Feeling . The band's line - up consisted of lead vocalist Adam Gontier, drummer Neil Sanderson, bassist Brad Walst, lead guitarist Phil Crowe, and rhythm guitarist Joe Grant . Most of the members were attending high school when the band formed . By the end of 1995, the band had broken up . </P> <P> In 1997, Gontier, Sanderson, and Walst regrouped as "Three Days Grace". According to Gontier, the name refers to a sense of urgency, with the question being whether someone could change something in their life if they had only three days to make a change . Once in Toronto, the band became acquainted with local producer Gavin Brown . The band gave him several years of material which they had created, and he "...picked out what he called' the golden nuggets"', according to Gontier . Brown and the band polished the songs, and created a demo album, which they gave to EMI Music Publishing Canada . The record label wanted to hear more material, and with Brown producing, the band created the song, "I Hate Everything About You", which attracted the interest of several record labels . The band was soon signed to Jive Records after being sought out by the company's president . </P> <P> The band moved to Long View Farm, a studio in North Brookfield, Massachusetts, to record their debut album . The self - titled album was finished in Woodstock, New York and released on July 22, 2003 . </P>
