the used are a band from orem, utah. they have four albums (demos from the basement, the used, maybe memories, in love and death) and are the middle of recording their next cd. Another cd/dvd named "berth" is to be released feb 6 2007.
They have released 9 singles and their next single "handsome awkward" is to be released in the next year.
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.

A musical band that has fans who would apparently rather spend time posting their oppinions about how "cool" they are instead of doing something productive. apparently none of you know the meaning of a dictionary, because if you did you wouldn't be saying stuff like "used pwns", because FYI, that's not informing in one way.
Person 1: Hey, who are The Used?
Used Fan: THEY KICK SUCH ASS OMFG
Person 1: Oh. ....so who are they?
Uesd Fan: THEY PWN JOO OMG
::person 1 walks off frustated at still not knowing who the used are::

the used is one of the best bands ever. Coming from none other than Orem, Utah. With Quinn Allman playing incredible riffs with his electric guitar, Brandon smashing his drums, Jeph picking his bass, and Bert McCrakcen screaming emocore or sometimes singing so sweetly its almost peaceful.
They aren't known very well but everyone should check them out.

The Used have rediscovered real music.

Another band that will be forgotten in a couple years. They are "used" by the music industry when they are marketed toward 12-20 year old girls and boys who happen to enjoy the emo/fabri-punk genre to begin with. They are adored by screaming fans in that age demographic, which means the music executives are doing their job well.
