The Used

The Used is an American rock band that emerged from the post-hardcore scene in Orem, Utah, in 2001. Formed by vocalist Bert McCracken, bassist Jeph Howard, drummer Branden Steineckert, and guitarist Quinn Allman, the band garnered attention with their self-titled debut album in 2002. Known for their raw emotion, angsty lyrics, and dynamic live shows, The Used became a staple of the 2000s alternative scene, embodying the angst and energy of a generation looking for an outlet. Over time, the band's lineup has seen changes, with Dan Whitesides replacing Steineckert on drums in 2006 and Joey Bradford taking over for Allman on guitar in 2018.

Throughout their career, The Used have consistently pushed the boundaries of their sound, blending elements of punk, emo, and even pop. The band's discography has marked a sonic evolution, with their ninth studio album, "Heartwork," released in 2020, demonstrating a return to the band's original, heavier sound, paired with the maturity of two decades of experience. They've maintained relevance in the ever-changing music scene through both their music and collaborations, such as those with Bert McCracken that produced "Self Sabotaging" and "VAMPIRE'S DIET." The Used have managed to stay true to their roots while also exploring new lyrical and musical territories, much to the delight of fans who have grown alongside the band. Despite lineup changes and the shifting tides of musical trends, The Used have held strong, proving their resilience and the timeless quality of their artistry.
