A brand new single The Used titled “MEDZ” has newly been released. You can give that track a stream below. The song is the title track to the band’s forthcoming deluxe b-side album of the same name, due out June 21st on Big Noise. The ten songs featured upon it stem from the writing sessions for the group’s latest album “Toxic Positivity“. Speaking of the record, vocalist Bert McCracken shared the following C.S. Lewis quote:
“Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say ‘My tooth is aching’ than to say ‘’My heart is broken.’:
