THE USED
Tuesday, August 10th, 2010The Used is a rock band from Orem, Utah. Their sound mixes many different genres and has been described as anything from post-hardcore to emo to alternative rock.
The Used formed in Orem, Utah. Drummer Branden Steineckert was the person who got everyone together to make music. The area is known for its large Mormon population, not for its incredible punk rock scene, so The Used had a lot of trouble finding venues that would let them play. The Used’s luck changed when they were signed to Reprise Records. The Used’s hit songs include A Box Full of Sharp Objects, The Taste of Ink.
The members of the Used had to overcome poverty, homelessness, and substance abuse, not to mention the straight-laced attitudes of their hometown of Orem, UT, to bring their screamo-tinged brand of post-hardcore to life. But they persevered and earned a contract with Reprise Records, releasing their self-titled debut album in June 2002.

Rumours is a spectacular re-invention of one of the very popular and longest running band in the history of rock music. If you have been hearing Rumours lately, it’s like hearing Fleetwood Mac comes to life. Rumours is considered as one of the most bona fide tribute acts on the west cost. In fact most of the time, it is being mistaken as the real one. It features six all-star players lineup and has created again every stage of the remarkable development of Fleetwood Mac. Way back as they started as a “British Invasion” quartet in 1967 until their latest reunion dance album titled “The Dance” including their 1997 national tour.




The huge genre of the music industry has joined in the commercial mainstream to harvest the rewards and make things easier. But this phenomenon is not a bad thing. Proof of which is Echoing August. For a song to be successful, it has to be catchy. The melody and lyrics must stick to the mind of the listeners so that singing along will not be a hard task. These are the ingredients used by Echoing August for its songs. The first E.P. of the band, the Intentions, was released and include Nick Martucci on vocals and guitar, Shawn Sandi on drums and Pat McCarthy on bass.
