CA/UT- January 17, 2012 - The first single off the highly anticipated new album from The Used has been released today via iTunes.  The song originally premiered on January 5th on KROQ to high praise and MTV Buzzworthy said "I Come Alive," "has plenty of The Used touchstones for fans, from dynamics to the impassioned screams, plus there's a dash more melodic hook alongside the off-kilter arrangements."

With almost 3 Million albums sold worldwide, the band continues to create music that they stand behind 100%. "I Come Alive was the first song completed once we began writing this album. It sets up the record really well and I like how diverse and theatrical it is", says front man Bert McCracken.

Their upcoming 7th album release called VULNERABLE will be available March 27th via their own label Anger Music Group partnered with Hopeless Records. The band completed the music video shoot this past weekend and will soon be releasing a short clip to share with fans. Full track listing and cover art will be released later this month. The band will be performing at Soundwave Festival in Australia next month. For dates and more information on The Used, check out: www.TheUsed.net.
