The Used have just released their cinematically sinister music video for new single, "Cry," directed by Gus Black (Deftones, Atlas Genius), which you can watch here: http://youtu.be/CE2CAvJZiiM. About the inspiration behind the new song, The Used frontman, Bert McCrackenexplains, "Before it is too late we must learn to love the precious present with all of the fury and passion life has allowed us. Understanding that it is exactly what we do with our tragedy to inspire others with theirs, that makes us the people we are."
The band will be releasing their sixth studio album, Imaginary Enemy, on April 1st. Produced by the acclaimed John Feldmann, who has championed The Used from since their very inception in 2001, Imaginary Enemy, puts The Used's political frustrations and commitment to social change at its forefront. The album opens with "Revolution," where McCracken urges, "So from now on I pledge allegiance/ To a world that's so much different / Where everyone has the chance to be free/ Revolution starts with me." This passionate optimism lies at the core of Imaginary Enemy.
