---|
The Used is an alternative rock band from Orem, Utah.
Biography
History
On October 15, 1992 a 4-piece band known as "Dumb Luck" was formed by Quinn Allman, Jeph Howard, Branden Steineckert and Ashton Johnson. Not long after the release of their EP, Dumb Luck went through a few line-up changes. Dumb Luck was short-lived. Eventually the band was forced to change its name. They changed it to "Used" when singer Jeph Howard moved to bass and Bert McCracken took over the vocals.[3] The band sent their songs to a producer named John Feldman from the punk group Goldfinger. After he heard "A Box Full of Sharp Objects" he valled them in for a demo. In 2001, the band finished the demo and he got them signed to Reprise Records all within a few months of meeting them. "Used" then had to change their name to "The Used" when it was discovered that a Boston band had already taken that name. Since then, The Used have released two platinum studio albums.
Present day and future plans
The Used have just released their third album Lies for the Liars and plan on releasing an EP according to a interview in the May 2007 article of Blunt Magazine. The EP is expected to be released later this year. They are also planning on releasing a live DVD of their Australian tour, however it is unknown which show will appear on the DVD as both the Melbourne and Sydney shows were filmed, on the 26th and 27th of May 2007 (respectively).
