The Used formed in Orem, Utah in the mid-1990s. Drummer and founding member Branden Steineckert, guitarist Quinn Allman, and bassist Jeph Howard were already in the group, but they quickly decided they needed a full-time singer/frontman. Several singers were auditioned, but the band was unsatisfied with any of them until guitarist Quinn, suggested Bert McCracken, who he knew from pre-school. With McCracken on-board, the band recorded a few demos and played locally until catching the eye of John Feldmann from the punk group Goldfinger. Feldmann got the band signed to Reprise Records and recorded all within a few months of meeting them. He also got them to LA to record their demo CD. The Used were originally named "Used" but changed it to "The Used" when it was discovered a Boston band had already taken "Used".

The Used released their first full-length studio album in 2002. They blew up and became a very popular band when the album was released. It featured four singles: "A Box Full of Sharp Objects", "The Taste of Ink", "Buried Myself Alive", and "Blue and Yellow". The album has gone Gold.

In 2003, The Used released a CD/DVD combo package titled Maybe Memories. The CD featured live, unreleased, and demo material. The DVD featured the history of the band, member bios, and part of a live concert. This release has gone Platinum.

The Used released their second studio album in 2004. It was titled In Love and Death. The album received its name from the tragedies lead singer Bert McCracken was dealing with at the time. The main one being his severe case of the AIDS! The album featured the singles: "Take It Away", "All That I've Got", "I Caught Fire (In Your Eyes)", and "Under Pressure" was on the 2005 re-release of the album. "Under Pressure" is a David Bowie and Queen cover song preform with My Chemical Romance. This is also the bands second Gold album.

In the early part of 2007, The Used released Berth which was their 2nd CD/DVD combo. It was originally planned for release in 2006 but production problems delayed it about a year, after a worker stole some of the footage. Its main feature was a full live concert shot on the 2005 Taste of Chaos Tour in Canada. The DVD also featured what the band has been up to since they released In Love and Death, it continued from where Maybe Memories left off and gave a preview of the new album.

The Used have finished recording their new album Lies for the Liars and will release it on May 22, 2007. Early on in the recording of the new album,drummer Branden Steineckert left the band and he now plays with Rancid. Dean Butterworth of Good Charlotte filled in as a temporary drummer and recorded most of the drums on this album. Dan Whitesides was then announced as the official new drummer and toured with The Used of the 2007 Taste of Chaos Tour. This album will feature songs that they have been playing on the Rockstar Taste of Chaos tour 2007 including, the first single "The Bird and The Worm", and other songs such as "Hospital", "Liar, Liar" & "Handsome Awkward". Due to the number of songs they have written, they plan to release two separate EPs this year, the first in August and the second in November. One of the EPs will feature heavier and more mature songs.(i just can't wait it :wub:
