“…one of the best rock shows to come to Brisbane” – FasterLouder

 

The Used return to Australia in support of their fourth studio album Artwork (in stores tomorrow) which has already been hailed by many as their finest work to date. A boundary crossing, career defining album, Artwork has seen The Used make the leap they’ve always threatened.

 

“On their fourth full-length, the Used have delivered not only the definitive album of thier career, but arguably one of the best records you'll hear in 2009.” – Alternative Press

 

“The Used have taken the best elements of their previous releases, refined them and delivered the strongest album of their career.” – Sputnikmusic

 

“…brutal yet crowd-pleasing anthems.” – Billboard

 

Tours by The Used have always resulted in a few things within Australia. Hysteria. Sell outs. Venue camp outs. Screaming. Excitement. Mind-blowing performances. You get the idea.
