We're excited and eternally grateful to The Used for taking up the Living The Dream Foundation torch and sharing our mission with the world. We look forward to creating dreams together for many years to come... Thank you, thank you, thank you..."

Live & Acoustic At The Palace was recorded at the band's intimate unplugged storyteller performance, which took place at The Palace Theater in Los Angeles last month.

Fifteen years ago, four teenagers from Utah created a band and released a collection of albums that shaped the space of the alternative rock scene. High energy live shows, gut wrenching relatable lyrics, and melodies that blended pop sensibility and hard rock was the perfect combination to make an everlasting impression on fans globally.
Since forming in Orem, Utah in 2001, The Used have released 6 albums and 2 EPs - The Used (2002), In Love and Death (2004),Lies for the Liars (2007), Shallow Believer EP (2008), Artwork (2009), Vulnerable (2012), The Ocean of the Sky EP (2013), and Imaginary Enemy (2013).
The Used's latest LP Imaginary Enemy put the band's political frustrations and commitment to social change at its forefront and has opened up the platform for conversation among fans and critics alike. The album climbed high on the Independent, Tastemaker Albums, Hard Rock, Alternative, Digital Albums and Top Rock charts. Fans can purchase Imaginary Enemy on iTunes here: http://bit.ly/ImaginaryEnemy.
Going into year 15, The Used are stronger than ever and are looking forward to an incredible evening of making memories.
