About

Adam, Brad, and Neil originally formed a band called Groundswell in 1992 during their freshmen year of high school. Their friend made up the fourth member of the band, but he left in 1997. The three remained a trio and renamed to Three Days Grace, which was a name Brad came up with. Upon completion of the album Three Days Grace, the band recruited Barry Stock to help on lead guitar to give Adam breathing room on stage and on tour
