The Used is a rock band from Orem, Utah, United States. The band’s genre is often widely debated, even within their fanbase with some claiming them to be, amongst others, emo. The band has refused to comment on this issue with Bert McCracken (vocalist) stating in an interview with Kerrang that he “doesn’t care about what genre they are as long as they make good music.”



For months, rumors circulated on message boards that the Used had parted ways with drummer Branden Steineckert. On September 12, 2006, those rumors were confirmed by the band. The announcement came via a statement posted on TheUsed.net, telling fans the band “needed to move forward.”

“The band will carry on, and I will cherish my good memories,” Branden Steineckert replies in MySpace post. Dan Whitesides, drummer for the now-defunct Utah group The New Transit Direction has taken Branden’s place, according to an article released on October 12, 2006. Meanwhile, Steineckert has become the new drummer for Rancid.

Their self-titled debut album The Used ended up going gold. The band later released Maybe Memories, a live album featuring the songs from their self-titled album and previously unreleased home demos that also included live footage and interviews on DVD. They released their second album In Love and Death through Warner Bros. Records, on September 28, 2004. The album has since also gone gold.
