The Used
Alt Rock, Pop Punk, Post Hardcore

The members of the Used (Particularly Bert McCracken) had to overcome poverty, homelessness, and substance abuse, not to mention the straight. laced attitudes of their hometown of Orem, UT, to bring their screamo-tinged brand of post-hardcore to life.

The members of the Used (Particularly Bert McCracken) had to overcome poverty, homelessness, and substance abuse, not to mention the straight. laced attitudes of their hometown of Orem, UT, to bring their screamo-tinged brand of post-hardcore to life. But they persevered and earned a contract with Reprise Records, releasing their self-titled debut album in June 2002. Having only played a handful of shows around Orem prior to their record's release, the band -- vocalist Bert McCracken, guitarist Quinn Allman, bassist Jeph Howard, and drummer Branden Steineckert -- began relentless nationwide touring that quickly saw their fan base multiply. Club dates soon turned into successful stints on larger-scale festival/package tours including the Warped Tour, Ozzfest, and Projekt Revolution alongside Linkin Park and Snoop Dogg. In summer 2003, the Used issued the introspective CD/DVD Maybe Memories, which contained unreleased songs, live material, behind-the-scenes footage, and more. Their official sophomore offering showed up in September 2004 as In Love and Death. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide « hide
