The Used, known for its blend of post-hardcore, emo, and alternative rock, helped to define the early 2000s emo movement behind its debut self-titled album in 2002, featuring hits like “The Taste of Ink” and “Buried Myself Alive.”
The band celebrated its 25th-anniversary tour with three nights at the Ogden Theatre from April 30 to May 2, and each show was dedicated to a specific album performance. Take a look at the Used’s final performance on May 2 below:
