The Used formed in the summer of 2000 and began composing songs without lyrics prior to McCracken joining. McCracken was impressed with their material, and wrote the lyrics to what would become "Maybe Memories". After recording a demo version of the song, he was officially confirmed as the band's vocalist. During the early days of the band, members suffered from poverty, homelessness, and substance abuse.
Their self-titled debut album, produced by John Feldmann, was released on June 25, 2002, to critical acclaim. The album featured the singles: "The Taste of Ink", "Buried Myself Alive", and "Blue and Yellow", with all three entering the charts and the album being certified platinum. They went on to play Warped Tour, Ozzfest, and Projekt Revolution, as well as Box Car Racer's first and only tour. The band received much recognition when Bert McCracken dated Kelly Osbourne and appeared on an episode of the TV show The Osbournes titled "Beauty and the Bert".
Lies for the Liars, was released May 22, 2007. Lies for the Liars charted in the top five in more than seven countries, and featured the singles: "The Bird and the Worm" and "Pretty Handsome Awkward". The six-month recording process was the longest the band had ever undertaken. Lies for the Liars generally received mixed to positive reviews. Originally, Lies for the Liars was expected to be a double-album. Nineteen songs were recorded, but they instead decided to save the songs for a future release. The album has been certified gold.
The Used has been described as emo, post-hardcore, punk rock, screamo, alternative rock, pop-punk, hard rock, and heavy metal. The band's early influences included Ink & Dagger, Jawbox, Fugazi, Nirvana, Refused, Jimmy Eat World, Hot Water Music, Converge, and Goldfinger. In 2007, bassist Jeph Howard stated, "We just don't consider ourselves 'emo' or 'screamo' and we never have. We're a rock band, that's all we've ever been." However, in a 2023 interview, McCracken admitted, "I used to cringe about that term ‘emo’ but I think we’ve swallowed it… We are emo." -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Used#Discography
