THREE DAYS GRACE‘s new single, “So Called Life”, will arrive on November 29. It will mark the band’s first release since THREE DAYS GRACE‘s cover of Gotye‘s “Somebody That I Used To Know”, which came out in July 2020.
THREE DAYS GRACE bassist Brad Walst told Jave Patterson of Two Doods Reviews about the new track (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “It’s a little different. It’s a pretty heavy song and definitely full of emotions and frustrations of everyday life. It was actually the first song we wrote on this record, going back almost pre-pandemic. We started jamming, actually, beside Neil‘s [Sanderson, drums] pool and it turned out really angry. [Laughs] I think it’s a great tune. I think the fans are gonna relate to it. And it’s gonna be a fun one live, I know that.”
Asked how much of THREE DAYS GRACE‘s upcoming album, which is tentatively due in the spring of 2022, was inspired by the pandemic, Brad said: “We didn’t really direct the songs towards there, but we’re a pretty honest band and we like to write about our true emotions and what we’re going through. So, naturally, being stuck at home and stuck on Zoom with each other, some pretty emotional songs came out of it. We wrote the first half of the record remotely. We recorded it remotely, which we’d never done. And then we just got back together a couple of months ago and did the rest. But it was interesting, man, and definitely a different vibe. And I think some great songs came out of it.”
Earlier in the month, THREE DAYS GRACE announced more than a dozen U.S. dates for April and May 2022, including a number of headlining concerts and radio shows as the support act for GODSMACK.
The official music video for THREE DAYS GRACE‘s version of “Somebody That I Used To Know” was directed by Mike Filsinger.
In 2019, THREE DAYS GRACE extended its record for the most No. 1s in the 38-year history of Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock Songs airplay chart, with “Right Left Wrong” its 15th No. 1 single on the tally.
“Right Left Wrong” is featured on “Outsider”, THREE DAYS GRACE‘s sixth full-length album and fifth consecutive Top 40-charting LP on the Billboard Top 200.
THREE DAYS GRACE‘s other No. 1 singles include “Misery Loves My Company”, “Chalk Outline”, “World So Cold”, “Never Too Late”, “Just Like You”, “Animal”, “Pain”, “Home” and “Infra-Red”.
