The Used

Where: The Palladium

Date: 2007-09-13 19:30:00

Type:

The Used has received a lot of attention lately and not just because lead singer Bert McCracken is Kelly Osbourne's grungy ex-boyfriend. This foursome has drawn positive attention for their resemblance to such bands as Glassjaw, The Deftones, Jimmy Eat World and Finch. This rock quartet from Washington, DC came together in early 1999. After a few name changes and the addition of a lead guitarist, they settled on the name of Army of Me and began to play up and down the East Coast. Hailing from the once quiet desert town of Tucson, Arizona, The Bled exploded onto the hardcore/metal circuit in 2001. With their intense live performances along side bands like Dillinger Escape Plan, Norma Jean, Midtown and Recover, they were able to make a name for themselves within their local music scene. Bringing about a mature sound that clearly exceeds their age as a band, The Bled, following the road less traveled by, is now clearing a path for those yet to come.
