After months of built up excitement, rock icons The Used have released their eighth studio album Heartwork today – https://theused.ffm.to/heartwork.

Available to purchase and stream, this album arrives with the unbound 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. 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.

Heartwork marks the return of John Feldmann to The Used family as he is producing the album and also the head of A&R at Big Noise. “I couldn’t be more honored or grateful to have one of my favorite bands of all time at my record label! They are one of the most influential bands of the last 20 years and we are making a career-defining album at the minute,” shares Feldmann. “They are one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen and Bert is quite possibly the best singer I’ve ever worked with. This has been a dream of mine since I met them in 2001.”

Most recently, the band premiered “The Lighthouse” featuring the incomparable blink vocalist with Grammy.com. As a special thanks to essential workers on the pandemic frontlines, the Used are inviting fans to be a part of the song’s forthcoming music video. They can submit videos of nurses, doctors, grocery store clerks, etc., now through April 28.
