The Used is a post-hardcore alternative rock band, from Orem, Utah, United States. Their self-titled debut album The Used produced by Reprise Records has so far sold nearly 200,000 copies and counting. The band later released Maybe Memories, a live album featuring the songs from their self-titled album and previously unreleased home demos that also included live footage and interviews on DVD.

In 1996, Quinn Allman, Jeph Howard, and Branden Steineckert were just three teenage boys playing in their band in their hometown of Orem, Utah. They dreamed of a bigger, brighter future than what awaited them in one of the most densely religious areas of the country. Their band needed a lead vocalist and they found one in Utah native Bert McCracken. They created a home studio and began recording.
