Rock icons The Used have shared a massive collection of new songs with fans with the Deluxe Edition of their eighth studio album ‘Heartwork’!
Released via Big Noise, this extended album features 11 new songs all written during the original ‘Heartwork’ sessions.
Fans can listen to the album here theused.ffm.to/heartworkdeluxe and watch the lyric video for lead track “River Stay”.
A variety of collaborators including producer John Feldmann, co-writer Mark Hoppus (Blink-182), guest artists Travis Barker, Jason Aalon Butler (Fever 333), Caleb Shomo (Beartooth) and more helped deliver this now 27-track album that simultaneously showcases what made The Used emerge as one of the most prolific bands of the early 2000s as well as what has kept them at the forefront of the genre ever since.
“Not a moment of our time in the studio for the ‘Heartwork’ sessions was wasted,” shares the band. “It seemed that every new day brought with it a song worth listening to.
Therefore, we are beyond proud to present to you all of the songs that didn’t make the
record; the entirety of the session.”
‘Heartwork’, originally released in 2020, arrived with the unbounded spirit of the pair of platinum albums that first introduced The Used to the world, mixed with the dramatic air of their gold-certified third, ‘Lies for the Liars’. The emotion, sincerity, and vulnerability found on ‘The Used’ (2002) and ‘In Love and Death’ (2004) is more urgent and insistent than ever on ‘Heartwork’, a diverse 16-song offering filled of self-examination, hyper-literate exploration, political pyromania, and keenly self-aware yet unrestrained whimsy.
In the first week of ‘Heartwork’’s release, the album landed #2 spots on both the Current Alternative and Record Label Independent Album charts, #3 on both Current Rock and Top Current Album charts as well as landing in the Billboard Top 200 at the #87 spot.
As for the Southeast Asia region, singles from ‘Heartwork’ made international playlisting on Apple Music, KKBOX, and landed on Spotify Asia‘s coveted New Music Friday playlists across the region. Tracks like “The Lighthouse (feat. Mark Hoppus)” were added to top radio stations including Power 98 (Singapore), Fly FM (Malaysia), and Kristal FM (Brunei), and the album was featured on notable media outlets such as Bandwagon (Asia), Pop Inquirer (Philippines), Rolling Stone India, Republika (Indonesia), Medcom (Indonesia) and Headbangkok (Thailand).
Established in 2000, The Used was brought to life and have since released a collection of albums that pioneered the scene of emo rock. 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.
The Used are Bert McCracken (Vocals), Jepha (Bass), Dan Whitesides (Drums) and Joey Bradford (Guitar).
The Used are currently on the road with co-headliners Coheed and Cambria. The all-outdoor run also includes the electrifying pop-punk trio Meet Me @ The Altar on most dates with rising alt-pop star carolesdaughter on select dates. In addition to this co-headline run, The Used will be performing at Four Chord Music Festival in Washington, PA as well as Rebel Rock Festival in Orlando, FL this September.
