In this Throwback Thursday episode of Chris DeMakes A Podcast, originally released on May 1, 2023, Bert McCracken of The Used sits down with Chris to unpack the writing and recording of the band's breakout single, “The Taste of Ink.” McCracken takes listeners back to the early 2000s, when the song—written in a basement in Provo, Utah—captured the restless energy and emotional urgency that would come to define The Used's sound. He shares how a crucial studio session with producer John Feldmann in Los Angeles helped reshape the chorus and elevate the track into a career-launching anthem. With behind-the-scenes stories and a deep dive into the song's lyrics and legacy, this episode offers a powerful glimpse into the making of an emo classic.

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Bert McCracken of The Used. From the beginning, The Used have captured the outpouring of McCracken's rawest emotions. “It's more than my journal. It's so intimate. It's terrifying… I can't help it. It's a big part of what I believe music is about,” McCracken reveals. From 2002's self-titled to 2024's MEDZ, the band have navigated lineup changes, inner turmoil, and loss — and then channeled that pain into unrelenting songs that ripple with urgency and emotional intensity. In a conversation with Madden, The Used frontman opens up about being an outsider, putting tragedy into his music, and the band's 25-year career Listen to their conversation on Artist Friendly wherever you listen to podcasts. You can also watch the episode over at Veeps.  ------- Host: Joel Madden, @joelmadden Executive Producers: Joel Madden, Benji Madden, Jillian King Producers: Josh Madden, Joey Simmrin, Janice Leary Visual Producer/Editor: Ryan Schaefer Audio Producer/Composer: Nick Gray Music/Theme Composer: Nick Gray Cover Art/Design: Ryan Schaefer Additional Contributors: Anna Zanes, Neville Hardman Learn more about your ad choices.

This is the one that got everyone's attention!  This week's guest on Discover New Music is Lee Jennings of The Funeral Portrait.  A record that has been in the works since 2018, "Greetings From Suffocate City" is a culmination of a lot of hard work, emotion, and dedication from the band and as far as Lee is concerned everything before this doesn't matter.  Lee talks rewrites, full-circle tour moments and getting to work with a guy he looks up to, Bert McCracken of The Used.  As always, a round of Rapid Fire is played and maybe we'll hear a cover of Kung Fu Fighting!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So much is made of the sophomore album syndrome with bands, especially the belief that a second album can often be the making or breaking of a band in terms of longevity and success. Although personally I have never favoured that belief - good music is good music whether it's your first, second, third or fourth album - there are many bands who have dished up below-par second albums and never recovered.The answer to that is pretty simple.Attack each and every album with a wholehearted belief and trust in what has got you there in the first place. Or you could go one better and try to better yourself musically, which is exactly what emo rock outfit The Funeral Portrait have done with their second album Greetings From Suffocate City, which will be laid bare this Friday, September 13.With the full backing of their label Better Noise Music, The Funeral Portrait have poured their entire beings into their follow up to 2016's A Moment Of Silence, creating a sonic tapestry of songs that showcases the band in a powerful new light bristling with confidence and expansion.Plus, toss in the fact they have landed guest artists such as Bert McCracken of The Used, Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills, Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria and Eva Under Fire and you suddenly have a melting pot of bristling, emotive rock music that looks set to propel The Funeral Portrait into the next wave of rock royalty that they have tirelessly been working towards.HEAVY caught up with vocalist Lee Jennings to find out more."It was a lot to do with…," he surmised. "Growing up, I was always the weird kid. I was always the loner or that kind of guy who was made fun of for being too tall or too weird or being into… I was always into anime, or musical theatre, just different from everyone else. Everyone else, especially around me, was into sports. I wanted to write a record that was kind of a love letter to the younger me, so every song has to do with some sort of experience that happened in prior years."In the full interview, Lee talks more about Greetings From Suffocation City and what to expect, his inspirations behind the music, motivating yourself to put out the best album you can, the story arc across the 14 tracks, how this album differs musically to A Moment Of Silence, what he learnt about himself and his music between albums, the guest artists and how they came to be on the record, making a statement with music, the band's blending of genres and how they come together, the theatrics within their music, touring plans and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Rock upstarts The Used have always approached life and music with a youthful exuberance that has translated to their massive fan base and seen their brand of music endure over nine albums since their inception in 2000.Following the release of Heartwork Deluxe last year, which featured collaborations with artists such as Travis Barker, Jason Aalon Butler and Caleb Shomo, The Used are now ready to release more new music, coming at you dripping with attitude in the shape of new single Fuck You.It is as much a statement of intent as it is a throwaway remark for The Used, but to find out the deeper meaning behind the track HEAVY tracked down frontman Bert McCracken for clarification.Needless to say we got none."It's basically a love letter to all of our fans from the heart," he said of the song, struggling to hold back the laughter. "There's a little bit of a fuck you inside of that, and I think it's good to release the demons, especially after the horrific time we had during the pandemic. It's cathartic to say it out loud."The film clip is another work of magic, featuring live footage, babies and the traditional bird, with McCracken explaining it is kind of a homage to the bands early work."Our very first video ever was for A Box Full Of Sharp Objects which had live video footage of us hanging out and playing live and we wanted to recreate that. I think it's a really awesome thing to see a band backstage having fun with each other and hanging out. It's a side you don't get to see."In the full interview, Bert talks about the warning that comes with the music video, the intended audience Fuck You is aimed at, new music, the deluxe version of Heartwork, why bands put out deluxe editions of albums, the collaborations on the album and which one he enjoyed most, playing the recent When We Were Young Festival, possible Australian tour dates and more.

Kaytie and I went backstage, well actually it was in the tour bus which was parked out front of The Bottom Lounge in Chicago to catch up with Bert Mccracken, lead singer of The Used. We talk new album, the power of the punk rock emo kid, playing clubs versus arenas and how they just might be touring with a band that The Used had taken out on tour almost 20 years ago that are now reunited and have sold out an entire arena tour in the U.S. @cuttermedia@KTRGrocks@wearetheused

C also fails super hard at guessing the lyrics even though it's by one of her favorite bands--of all time. We find out what C, Bert McCracken, Steve Jobs and Rihanna have in common. C and D get into the Red Table Talk, Little BBQ fingers and Big Sean, and various other pop culture trash. Then C goes to Oregon and does a little Q&A with her longtime besties Mars and Brit.

Stephen from Vibe Machine catches up with Bert Mccracken backstage at the Melbourne Good Things Festival and discusses the band's new guitarist, fatherhood, love of Tonight Alive, working with Ross Robinson and more.

Australia has a Heavy Music Festival Season Again (on the East Coast) and the latest addition to grace us with its presence is Good Things Festival featuring a stack of bands like The Offspring, Dropkick Murphys, Bullet For My Valentine, Northlane, Make Them Suffer, La Dispute, All Time Low and the two special guests co-hosting this week's episode of the podcast. First up is Dan Campbell from pop punk band The Wonder Years who joins us to chat about their latest album Sister Cities which features a very emotional track Dan wrote after having to travel to Japan for a tour not long after his Grandfather passed away. Its certainly one of the better albums to be released in 2018 so far, but podcast host Browny also accidentally uncovered a secret that Dan and his partner hadn't even told the world yet which has him excited (and scared) for the future. The second guest is Bert McCracken from The Used who set up shop in Australia six years go to raise his two daughters and from all accounts he's become accustomed to life down under dropping C*Bombs more frequently than normal. He's also on deck to discuss how he still loves playing music from way back in the band's emo catalogue and what the band's setlist will include during their slow on the festival. We're also playing tracks from bands featuring on the lineup including the brand new one for BABYMETAL. There's also some side news about Static-X and the new album they're working on PLUS a BRAND SPANKIN' new song from AFI. #WoSUATW #TheWonderYears #DanCampbell #SisterCities #TheUsed #BertMcCracken #TheCanyon #GoodThingsFest #GoodThingsFestival #GoodThings2018 #MusicFestival #AustralianBands #LaDispute #AFI #TheMissingMan #GetDark #AllTimeLow #TonightAlive #BABYMETAL #Northlane #MakeThemSuffer #Emmure #StaticX #ProjectRegeneration #WayneStatic #BulletForMyValentine #BFMV #SINSAENUM #Podcast#MusicPodcast #WallOfSoundAU

For the final episode of 2015, we're speaking with two figures of Sydney music - one mini, one mega - that have built up a devoted, loudly-singing audience in their near-decade together. Keiron Steel and Jack Bruun-Hammond are Corpus, and their particularly live-and-loud brand of post-hardcore-oriented alternative rock has impressed everyone from Black Wire regulars to Bert McCracken. With Jack's cat Nancy watching over (as well as ZK Photo's Zach Penhall getting the whole thing on camera), the guys talk through high-school obsessions, Goulburn fanatics and the legend of CorpusDad. You can download and stream all of Corpus' releases - including their most recent EP, The Sliding Scale of Morality - at http://corpuscorpuscorpus.bandcamp.com

Bert McCracken is the lead singer of The Used.  He discusses the failing American system with Dave, and anarchy, and anarchism, and Occupy, and what might happen if America continues down its current path.  They had fun, and the discussion is decidedly different from most others so far on Terrified.
