The Used are again! Following the discharge of the infectious, but pissed-off 2022 anthem, “Fuck You,” the beloved post-hardcore veterans have dropped the venomous new single “People Are Vomit,” which is certain to soundtrack the dystopian days forward. The single arrives after the band introduced yesterday that their long-awaited ninth studio album, Toxic Positivity, is due out May 19 (by way of Big Noise).
On “People Are Vomit,” the Used return to their heavier roots in full pressure, providing a well timed critique of the state of the world and the divisive occasions we live in. Vocalist Bert McCracken sounds as explosive as ever over the cyber-punk association, with brutally sincere lyrics that state, “This future was fucked before it got started/This world is disgusting and people are vomit.”
