They hail from Orem, Utah. They have toured everywhere from New York to Australia to Japan. Their fans are scattered all over the world. They have overcome poverty, homelessness and drug abuse. They have gone from underground basement band to world famous headlining stage crew. They are strong and talented. They are The Used, and they're my favorite band of all time and are performing tonight at Northern Lights!
I'm not a fan of Christmas music- at all. Every year when it comes on the radio and I hear it everywhere I go, I groan and moan. It's old, corny and annoying, and basically just reinventions of all the classic holiday songs. However, there are a handful of songs that I do like, because they're originals as well as covers, but done by modern rock bands that put their own spin on the songs. Here are my top five unoriginal Christmas songs (not in any particular order).
My favorite band of all time, The Used, have a lot of new stuff going on, including the release of their new, upcoming album Vulnerable, and their transition from record label Warner Bros. to their own label, Dental Records. Find out more by frontman Bert McCracken in the video below!
If you didn't already know, The Used is my most favorite band in the music world. I've been obsessed with them since I was in high school. I've seen them three times so far, have written a 15-page review on them and have their best album name tattooed on my feet. They're completely amazing and inspiring and there will never be a band better than them or even similar to them. It's been years since their last album, "Artwork" came out, and the word is that their newest album is in the works! YAY!
