A few weeks ago, The Used surprised fans with a brand new single. “Blow Me (Feat. Jason Aalon Butler)” is frenetic and explosive while showcasing the undeniable vocals of front-man Bert McCracken.
Fans can stream the music video for “Blow Me (Feat. Jason Aalon Butler)” at https://theused.ffm.to/blowme.
“Blow Me” is the first new piece of music from the band in over two years and marks the return of John Feldmann to their production team. The Used signed to Feldmann’s record label Big Noise earlier this year and are putting the finishing touches to their eighth full-length album.
Feldmann signed The Used to Reprise Records in January 2002, one short year after the band formed in Orem, Utah. He also produced some of the band’s most monumental albums including their self-titled debut, Maybe Memories, In Love and Death, Lies for the Liars, Vulnerable and Imaginary Enemy. The upcoming album will mark their first release on Big Noise.
For the release, Big Noise will partner with Hassle Records for the UK and Europe. Hassle Records boss, Wez said “We have worked with a host of artists that come from the same, or similar, musical backgrounds and ethos to The Used. Frank Iero, Fall Out Boy, We Are The Ocean, Alexisionfire to name but a few. It’s Hassle’s 15th year in 2020 and to finally get to work with The Used is not only an honour, but it feels like a really natural fit for us to be partnering with them’.

Nearly twenty years ago, The Used was brought to life and have since released a collection of albums that shaped the space of the alternative rock scene. High energy live shows, gut wrenching relatable lyrics, and melodies that blended pop sensibility and hard rock was the perfect combination to make an everlasting impression on fans globally.
The Used is Bert McCracken (Vocals), Jeph Howard (Bass), Dan Whitesides (Drums) and Joey Bradford (Guitar).
