In support of 'Vulnerable', THE USED are back to rock their way
through a four date tour across the UK.
It’s 6pm, an hour before doors,
and the night begins right here. Queuing fans are invited into the venue for a free
meet and greet with the band. Faces are already left painted with smiles as
fans return to the queue beaming at the sight of their signatures.
It’s 7pm and a pumped crowd congregate into the venue to await the bands presence. Set opener ‘Take it Away’ welcomes the band to stage with a blast of energy. Modelling his own band merch tonight, vocalist Bert McCracken could not look more pleased to grace the stage.

‘The
Bird and the Worm’, raises the heat and breaks the crowd into life. Followed by
a high spirited performance of ‘Listening,’ Bert’s vocals and the crowd’s dynamic
prove to be explosive tonight.
Between songs McCracken’s sense of humour and crude jokes seem to
fuel the crowd. His enthusiasm never falls. Pervading positive vibes, Bert demands
the crowd to keep smiling on several occasions tonight. He certainly is a frontman
worthy and grateful of his position.
Mid-set the band storm through
fan favourite tracks, ‘The Taste of Ink’, ‘Hospital’, and ‘I Caught Fire’. With
raw energy and feeling, lyrics are screamed back at the stage, word perfect. The
atmosphere shared between the band and their fans is truly exhilarating.
“Music is my escape” expresses Bert, a feeling which surely unites many souls across the room tonight. The fluid interaction built between the band and the crowd clearly remains throughout. Bert proceeds to reads out held up signs and notes delivered to the stage.
Tracks from the newly released album include, ‘Kiss it Goodbye’, I Come Alive, and ‘Put Me Out’, They go down well with the crowd, but it’s the classic tracks ‘Buried Myself Alive’ and ‘Blue and Yellow’ that the hard-core gig goers really want to hear tonight.

The encore is a powerful one,
with the band returning onstage for the infectious ‘Blood on My Hands.’ But it’s
not over yet, introduced as the best song ever written, ‘Pretty Handsome
Awkward,’ erupts the crowd into a mass display of a mosh pit. Then ‘A Box Full of
Sharp Objects' draws the night to a steaming climax. Left sweaty, bruised and satisfied
the fans make their way outside.
Afterwards, It’s not long before Bert and the band resurface for photographs with every last fan. The tour bus departs to take the show on the road once again.
