The Used Have Announced An Intimate 2020 Tour

Utah emo heroes The Used have announced a seriously special U.S. tour to kick off their 2020.

The band will be performing a whole bunch of intimate shows throughout January and February next year, kicking off at Solana Beach in California, and finishing up in Phoenix, Arizona.

"We are incredibly excited to announce we’ll be kicking off 2020 with a very special U.S. tour for all the hardcore Used fans!" the band say. "These shows are in some of the smallest rooms we’ve played in over a decade and will be unlike any other Used show you’ve seen."

The Used recently unveiled a brand-new single, Blow Me, featuring FEVER 333's Jason Aalon Butler.

“Whether metaphorically signifying the power of words in general or magnifying concern for the situation of societal gun violence, we urge the fans of our music to find individual and personal meaning in all of our songs,” says frontman Bert McCracken of the song.

“If I’m being honest, I’ve been a fan of [The Used] since the first single they put on an Atticus Clothing comp CD back in 2002,” adds Jason. “I heard Box Full Of Sharp Objects and thought, ‘This is it. This is the next step in heavier music with melodic sensibility.’

“I loved it. I studied it. Then I met the man that produced it, John Feldmann. Loved him. Studied him. Then a couple of months ago I was asked by the band and John to sing on a track from the new album. They played me some songs and – no bullshit – I got that feeling I felt when I first heard Box Full on that comp 17 years ago. For any and all The Used fans: they’re back again. In a big fucking way.”
