The Used have announced their partnership with Hopeless Records for the release of their new album “Vulnerable”, rather than through their own Dental Records label. The album is scheduled to arrive in stores on March 27th, 2012.


Alt Press had the chance to fire off a few questions to Bert McCracken (vocalist) to gain some insight about this transition and their new album release:

What is the relationship between your own label and Hopeless? How is that going to work?

"[The name] Dental Records was taken, so instead of starting a label, we’re starting more of a group that involves everything from managing to production to art design. It’s going to be called Anger Music Group. We negotiated a distribution deal through Hopeless. They’re going to distribute the record worldwide, and it all comes out on Anger Music Group."

Why did you decide to go this route?

"We just don’t want to have to answer to anyone. We really wanted to do it all ourselves, put it out all ourselves, pay for it ourselves—but with the distribution. We looked into a few different distribution companies, but we cared for Hopeless the most. They had the most charitable minds and we’re really into giving money back at this point in our careers. They’re hugely passionate, and they have a great distribution team worldwide, which is amazing. It’s all we could’ve asked for. I think it’s going to work out great for everyone."

What else do you want people to know about Vulnerable?

"I wrote this record for all the outcasts in life. Growing up in school, I was always picked on and kids made fun of me—they called me gay because I painted my nails. There are so many kids out there who are special in their own way, and I want people to understand that this record is for the misfits and for the outcasts and for anyone who’s never really fit in. There’s a place for all of us in this world. We can all find it if we just keep looking."
