In one of our most random, funny, tangent-filled games of ‘Would You Rather?’ ever, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Bert McCracken and Jeph Howard of The Used.
The Used and Every Time I Die are teaming up to invade North America. The duo will embark on a month-long trek, bringing Marmozets and the Eeries along.
Welcome to Part 2 of our exclusive dip into the mind of the Used's Bert McCracken. In this second half of our talk with the Used singer, McCracken talks about his continual lyrical theme of 'time,' the difference between recording vocals for the band's debut and the band's upcoming 'Imaginary Enemy' album, his favorite philosophers + much more.
Taking Back Sunday and The Used will team up for what promises to be a hard-rocking tour this spring. The two bands both have new albums en route and this will be the first major North American run for each supporting their upcoming releases.
The Used have completed their sixth studio album and will release 'Imaginary Enemy' on April 1. The disc follows on the heels of their Top 10 2012 disc 'Vulnerable.'
The Used will head up the 2013 Take Action Tour, and they'll be squeezing a little extra life out of their 'Vulnerable' album by re-releasing it as a two-disc effort titled 'Vulnerable II' that coincides with the run.
The Used have dropped their fifth studio album ‘Vulnerable’ today and the band have also announced dates for a headlining tour with support from Dead Sara and Stars In Stereo.
Parting ways with a major record label can devastate or invigorate a band.
For the Used, it seems to be the latter. Singer Bert McCracken says his Utah-bred group will release its near-finished fifth studio album, ‘Vulnerable,’ in early 2012 on its own Dental Records.
