The members of the Used had to overcome homelessness and substance abuse, not to mention the strait-laced attitudes of their hometown of Orem, UT, to make their brand of hard rock. But they persevered and earned a contract with Reprise Records, releasing their self-titled debut album in June 2002.

About The Used
Hailing from Orem, Utah, USA, the Used was formed in the late 90s by Bert McCracken (vocals), Quinn Allman (guitar), Jeph Howard (bass), Branden Steineckert (drums). Growing up in a staunchly conservative Mormon district of Utah, the quartet formed the Used as a reaction to the cloying conformity of their hometown. Their aggressive blend of hardcore and heavy metal proved resolutely unfashionable in the land of the Osmonds and they struggled to secure local gigs. Touring outside the confines of their native Utah brought the band to a wider audience, and they succeeded in landing a major label recording contract with Reprise Records. The quartet's self-titled debut album, released in 2002, was buoyed by the radio success of the single "The Taste Of Ink", and by McCracken's much publicized romance with Ozzy Osbourne's daughter Kelly, with the singer even making an appearance on the hit docu-soap The Osbournes. The Used also made a good impression on two of America's biggest summer music events, the Ozzfest and the Warped Tour.
