I wouldn't say that they're the best band in the world, but at this moment in my life, I love their music so f**king much. I can't go 5 minutes without listening to Bert McCracken's wide range of vocals. I wake up and go to sleep to their Maybe Memories CD, especially Noise and Kisses, Poetic Tragedy, and Box Full of Sharp Objects.

an emo band from utah made up of Bert McCracken (Vocals), Branden Steineckert (Drums/Vocals), Quin Allman (Guitar/Vocals), and Jeph Howard (Base/Vocals) they have 4 cds, "Demos From the Basement", Self Titled, "Maybe Memories CD/DVD"(DVD is Videos and LA Concert) and In Love And Death. Bert is an Ex-heroin addict, and brandens never drunk or done drugs, and quinns the youngest, Jeph had dreds
Then in violent, frustration, he cries out to God or just no one Is there a point to this madness and all that he was.... Is just a tragedy
He feels alone His heart in his hand He's alone He feels alone I feel....
So he voyages in circles Succeeds getting nowhere And submits to the substance That first got him there
Then on that last day he breaks And he stood tall And he yelled... and he takes his life
Poetic Tradgedy- The Used
He feels alone His heart in his hand He's alone He feels alone I feel....

The band consists of four members:
Robert "Bert" McCracken (vocals)
Quinn Allman (guitar, back up vocals)
Jeph "Jepha" Howard (bass, back up vocals)
Dan Whitesides (drummer)
Their previous members include brandon steineckert who was the original drummer and founder for the band, greg bester, a guitarist that toured with the band in the 00's and joel (no other name given) who played bass when the used first formed in the 90's.
Originally bassist Jepha, was the lead vocalist for the band, but he decided that he prefered bass, so the band recruited bert mccracken, who at the time was under treatment for drug abuse, to front the band.
On september 12th, the used announced on their official website that their drummer branden was no longer part of the band and that they owed him much graditude. A month later they announced drummer dan whitesides (drummer for the new transit direction) to replace him.
Previous drummer Branden, has been chosen by the band rancid to replace former drummer Brett Reed.
The used are set to headline the north american taste of chaos.
