Today, rock icons The Used have released their new deluxe B-side album ‘Medz’ via Big Noise. The new EP offers seven new, never-before-heard singles from The Used from the ‘Toxic Positivity’ writing sessions with John Feldmann in 2022 and 2023. The new tracks, including focus track ‘Terrified’, take the sound that has been synonymous with The Used throughout their storied career and elevate it with the same edge found in recently released singles ‘Medz,’ ‘People Are Vomit,’ and ‘Fuck You.’
Vocalist Bert McCracken shared a quote from C.S. Lewis to give a deeper meaning to the collection of B-sides: “Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say “My tooth is aching” than to say ‘My heart is broken.’”
