The biggest band out of Utah since the Osmonds! Some rare songs for your listening pleasure.
Some go their entire lives toting an unrealized dream and an accompanying regret. Others slave to an instinctive hunger and hunt that dream until the hunger is sated.
The Used are hungry. Hailing from Orem, Utah, the band has surmounted homelessness, substance abuse and closed-minded environs to create compelling, sincere music, which they perform with style and verve live and on their debut album for Reprise Records.
Recorded in LA at the home studio of producer John Feldmann and at London's legendary Olympic Studios (Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin), it contains thirteen anthems and ballads that thrum with the intensity of four guys who have given everything to one thing: music. Their effort is palpable in a spray of crashing rhythms, sublime melodies, candid lyrics, dynamic vocals and, natch, big guitars. The songs themselves are direct accounts. |
