The Used’s Bert McCracken Talks New Album, Becoming a Business Man

The Used just unleashed ‘I Come Alive,’ the first single from their forthcoming album, ‘Vulnerable.’ But Noisecreep hadn’t heard any music when frontman Bert McCracken did this interview just days before Christmas. A press release had just gone out announcing the formation of the Utah band’s new record label, Anger Music Group, and new distribution deal with Hopeless Records.

Vulnerable is about taking one step back and two steps forward. The sound of the record is as evolved as it possibly could be, it maintains the same emotional integrity as the first record [2002’s The Used], yet it sounds like the future (and the future sounds bright). Vulnerable is about taking a chance to let the real you shine. This record is for the outcasts, the misfits, the misunderstood, and the ones who have always dared to be themselves. I can’t wait for you to hear it.
