The Used release brand new single 'Numb'
Rock icons The Used have shared their brand new single 'Numb'. The track is taken from their highly-anticipated album Toxic Positivity, out 19th May via Hassle Records / Big Noise.
The track tackles the all-too-familiar sensation of feeling too much and nothing at all simultaneously. The reoccurring line – “does anybody else feel numb?” delivered in Bert McCracken’s passionate voice – is as much a reminder as it is a question, searching for reassurance that we aren’t alone in this feeling.

When asked, McCracken draws a parallel between the band’s 2020 song 'To Feel Something' and ‘Numb’: “I just wanna feel something. Anything is better than this. I just wanna feel something. No different from anyone else. Wanna waste my time but not like this at all. I just wanna feel something. No different from anyone else.”
“Cause I feel numb. Does anybody else feel numb?”
'Numb' is the first single from The Used’s new album Toxic Positivity. Over 20 years into their career, Toxic Positivity is everything fans have come to know and love from The Used – straightforward, in-your-face, destructive, and vulnerable all at once.

The Used vocalist Bert McCracken shares “We are more than excited for our first tour with Pierce the Veil. We've been friends for a long time and I know this will be a tour to remember. We can’t wait for you to hear some new music! We are so f*cking stoked and will see you there!”
Established in 2000, The Used were brought to life and have since released a collection of albums that pioneered the scene of emo rock. High-energy live shows, gut-wrenching relatable lyrics, and melodies that blended pop sensibility and hard rock was the perfect combination to make an everlasting impression on fans globally.
The Used released their ninth studio album, Heartwork (Deluxe), in 2021 via Big Noise. The extended album features 11 never-before-heard tracks that were all written during the original Heartwork (2020) sessions. A variety of collaborators including producer John Feldmann, co-writer Mark Hoppus (Blink-182), guest artists Travis Barker, Jason Aalon Butler (Fever 333), Caleb Shomo (Beartooth) and more helped deliver this now 27-track album, that simultaneously showcases what made The Used emerge as one of the most prolific bands of the early 2000s, as well as what has kept them at the forefront of the genre ever since. The band locked in #4 spots on both the Top Alternative and Top Hard Rock Album charts, #11 on Top Rock Album charts, as well as landing in the Billboard Top 200 at the #87 spot.
