Self-Titled was released June 25th, 2002 as The Used’s debut album. The album is consistently recognized as a staple, landmark album of the genre and continues to receive rave reviews and is listed as influence for many bands that came after. In Love and Death is the follow-up album to Self-Titled, and was released September 28, 2004.

 

Fifteen years ago, four teenagers from Utah created a band and released a collection of albums that shaped the space of the alternative rock scene.  High energy live shows, gut wrenching relatable lyrics, and melodies that blended pop sensibility and hard rock was the perfect combination to make an everlasting impression on fans globally.

 

Since forming in Orem, Utah in 2001, The Used have released 6 albums and 2 EPs - The Used (2002), In Love and Death (2004), Lies for the Liars (2007), Shallow Believer EP (2008), Artwork (2009), Vulnerable(2012), The Ocean of the Sky EP (2013), and Imaginary Enemy (2013).

 

Going into year 15, The Used are stronger than ever and are looking forward to making memories every night on this upcoming tour.

 

The Used is Bert McCracken (vocals), Jeph Howard (bass), Dan Whitesides (drums), and Justin Shekoski (guitar).
