If there were a Family Feud category that asked contestants to name “Mangy Strung Out Looking Alt Rock Punk Bands of the ’00s”… the survey would say… My Chemical Romance. And in a distant second… The Used. Those would be the only answers worth beans. Glassjaw is down the list somewhere but if you guessed that, your family may just disown you.
My point? The Used have always lived in the dark, dirty shadow of MCR, especially after the 2 bands began a feud of their own around 2005. But with The Used’s new album, “Artwork,” hitting shelves 9/1, and MCR’s still a TBD, they may have a good shot at winning back some fans.
One thing’s for sure… The Used never fall short on the video front. Check out the new video for “Blood on My Hands” after the jump! (more…)
