The Used’s Bert McCracken Announces Debut Solo Album

Bert McCracken, frontman of The Used, has announced his self-titled debut solo album under the moniker robbietheused.

The 12-track album, out on October 25th, was produced by John Feldman, who McCracken describes as “a wizard.”

He can make anything and he’s so easy to work with. He’s the hardest working man I know in the music industry. There’s no drama recording with him. It was a smooth process – just like making a Used record.”

He continued: “In the morning, we’d talk about how we’re feeling and what’s on our minds on that day. And ask, ‘How’s the mental health? How’s the vibes?’ And then we’d formulate a song around that. It was almost like a therapy session, where I’d really get to talk about anything that’s on my mind, and then make a song about it.”

Listen to the first two singles – “Terrible” and “The Feels” – below. Pre-save the album here.

Additionally, McCracken will embark on a short tour in support of the LP. The five-date show kicks off on October 30th in Anaheim, California, and wraps up in Asbury, New Jersey, on November 6th. Tickets are on sale now.
