Ongoing History Daily: Three Days Grace’s Disney movie appearance

September 17, 2025 Alan Cross 0 Comments 0 min read

True or false: Canada’s Three Days Grace once appeared in a Disney movie. This is 100% true.

It was a 2004 Hilary Duff movie called Raise Your Voice, which follows a young singer whose brother is killed by a drunk driver. The plot specifies that he was on his way home from a Three Days Grace gig.

This called for a band cameo in the movie where they played two songs: “Home” and “Are You Ready.” There was even a bit speaking part for singer Adam Gontier. How did they get the job? The band doesn’t remember, but it was probably a move by their manager to get some exposure. After all, they were a new band in the early 2000s, so they could use the publicity.

It worked, too. Following the release of the movie, they started getting more offers to perform on TV.
