The Used- made up of singer Bert McCracken, guitarist Quinn
Allman, bassist Jeph Howard and drummer Dan Whitesides formed in Orem, Utah in
2001, signing to Reprise Records that same year. Championed by producer and
collaborator John Feldmann, the band issued their gold-certified Self-Titled
debut in 2002, quickly cementing the Used as leaders among the post-hardcore
elite, thanks in part to unforgettable singles like "Box Full of Sharp
Objects," "The Taste of Ink" and "Buried Myself
Alive." The band then released the CD/DVD combo Maybe Memories in 2003,
now certified platinum, featuring B-sides, live cuts, demos and unreleased
tracks, while still another gold record followed-2004's In Love And
Death-spawning singles "Take It Away," "All That I've Got"
and "I Caught Fire." 2007's Lies For The Liars, hit #5 on the Billboard
Top 200, led to 2009's Artwork, which peaked at #10 on the Billboard Top 200.
Released in March of this year, Vulnerable debuted at #8 on
the Billboard Top 200 charts, selling 31,521 in the first week. The release
established The Used's first album release off their own record label Anger
Music Group partnered with Hopeless Records. "I think Vulnerable is really
new for us. There's a lot of hip-hop influence, beats and drum and bass kind of
stuff, but it's also still a Used record, by all means," explains
McCracken. "Just like any other Used record, it's a horse of many colors:
There are a lot of soft and heavy sounds, there are a lot of brutal, sharp,
bright sounds, and the tempos are anywhere from ultra-slow to super fast and
heavy. There are a lot of different conceptual feelings on the record."
"This record is for all those people who weren't the
coolest people around. We never were. This record's for kids like us, who just
love music, because it saves their lives every day," McCracken says.
"At the end of the day, I'm the only one who has to live and die with
myself. I want to make it a good one for me. I only have one life to
live."
