Fans & Friends,
As you may have heard I'm no longer in The Used. Quinn, Bert and
Jeph have agreed that they no longer want to play music with me. Im
truly sorry that it has come to this. I wanted you to also hear it from me.
It makes me so very sad, breaks my heart. The band will carry on and I
will cherish my good memories. I am so proud of what the four of us little
nobodies from Utah accomplished. We broke out from nowhere, we overcame
so much, some say we helped pioneer a genre. I feel so very grateful for the
things Ive experienced, the touching stories I've heard from such die hard fans,
the incredible people I've met and places I've been. I'm such a lucky person. The
Used fans are so real and were such an inspiration on stage to look
out into your faces and scream, sing, cry, bleed and sweat together.
To anyone who ever supported The Used during my time with the
band.....I thank you sincerely. I don't know what else to say...
I wish Quinn, Bert and Jeph all the best! I wish them all the
happiness and success that they can achieve. I hope they continue
with the amount of success we've had and more.
I will carry on doing what I love which is playing drums and
producing bands. I've got a lot left to give and share with the
world. Thank you all so much for your kind words and support!!
Keep the demos coming in. See you soon...
With Respect
-Branden

Dear Friends.
It is with much sadness that we want to tell you that Branden is no
longer the drummer in The Used. We felt that we needed to move forward
without Branden as our drummer. We wish Branden well, and owe a great
deal of gratitude towards him for his hard work over the years. We
could not have gotten this far without him. We all wish much happiness
and success in Branden's future endeavors - wherever they may lead."
No new drummer has been chosen yet.
We are almost done recording the album and it should be released in
early 2007.
We are very proud of the songs so far and can't wait for you to hear
them.
Love and see you soon,
