ABOUT THE USED
The Used helped define the sound of a generation with their chaotic and melodic cacophony. The band Billboard praised for its “knack for crafting brutal yet crowd-pleasing anthems” and The New York Times called “weird and catchy and unexpectedly funny” stood tall against the tests of time and trends, now 25 years into its journey stronger and more passionately purposeful than ever. “The Used’s colorfully unhinged post-hardcore became a vital part of the scene responsible for breaking bands like My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy,” wrote Kerrang!. Songs like “The Taste of Ink,” “Pretty Handsome Awkward,” “The Bird and the Worm,” and “I Caught Fire” incite massive singalongs in theaters and clubs, at Vans Warped Tour, and at huge festivals worldwide. Over 25 years, they’ve scored four Billboard 200 Top 10 debuts and ten Billboard Hot 100 singles. The Used (2002) and In Love and Death (2004) are certified platinum in the United States, and Lies for the Liars (2007) went gold. The band recently celebrated their massive 25th-anniversary tour, which features each landmark album played in full across three nights in each city throughout the United States. Singer, Bert McCracken and bassist Jepha co-founded The Used in Utah in 2000. Drummer Dan Whitesides joined nearly 20 years ago, and guitarist Joey Bradford has been with the band since 2018. The original incarnation of The Used was born from the conservative isolation, myopic boredom, and restless angst of their crucial formative years spent some 45 miles from Salt Lake City in Orem, Utah.
ABOUT SLEEP THEORY

Praised by Jelly Roll and David Draiman, the band have toured with the likes of Shinedown, Falling In Reverse, and Beartooth.

In less than two years, they’ve become one of heavy music’s biggest breakout acts — recognized by Revolver, Loudwire, and Amazon Music as an Artist to Watch in 2025. Their upcoming album’s lead single, “Stuck In My Head,” has already soared to No. 1 at Active Rock radio, making Sleep Theory the fifth most-played artist on the format — a remarkable milestone for a rising band. Delivering the dynamic bounce, massive hooks, and genre-bending innovation the rock world craves, Sleep Theory pushes the boundaries of heavy music.
