Interview: Bert McCracken - The Used (SXSW)

Our friends over at Vinyl Mag did an interview with Bert McCracken from The Used at SXSW

VM: How do you feel like you have evolved as a band and stayed relevant since starting out 13 years ago?

BM: I think the relevance is in part to do with our passion, and also directly a product of honest, pure love of music…there are a lot of bands out there like The Used that are just truly passionate about what they do, because they love music. And I think that is the most important thing for us – status aside, money aside, attention aside, everything else aside – other than this unadulterated love for music.
