Take 5

Bert McCracken from The Used


Listen Later

Bert McCracken from The Used shares 5 songs that 'got him through'.

The frontman and founding member of The Used found his tribe through music, and he’s gathered a huge community of fans over the last 25 years.

It's the occasion of that quarter century that’s taking them around the world, to play out their first three albums in full night after night.

It’s why I invited Bert to Take 5. His music has helped so many people overcome the hardest of times, you can see people’s faces and memories as they sing back the classics to their favourite band… and I wanted to know about the songs that got him through. From the godfathers of emo, to vampire punk, to synth pop, this is a beautiful window into a big-hearted Bert.
