Rock icons The Used have shared a brand-new music video with NX Zero for “On My Own (Live In Brazil)”, recorded in Belo Horizonte in March 2024 on the I Wanna Be Tour. In a 2020 interview with Revolver, frontman robbietheused called the track called “probably the most special and profound slow/soft song on the planet, in my world” – and for good reason. Originally released in 2002 on The Used’s groundbreaking self-titled album – which celebrated it’s 22nd anniversary earlier this week – the classic hit delves into deep themes of introspection and self-discovery that defined the band’s early career and shaped a generation of fans.
The I Wanna Be Tour sold out stadiums across Brazil and brought together some of emo’s greatest names across the world, including bands like NX Zero, The Used, The All American Rejects, Boys Like Girls, Plain White T’s, Fresno, and more. As self-proclaimed fans of The Used, NX Zero wanted to create a special moment for Brazilian fans and had the idea to invite The Used on-stage to perform a fan-favorite track.
“Touring with NX Zero was the best time we have ever had in South America,” says robbietheused. “We got to know the guys and were immediately friends. So honored we had this incredible opportunity.”
“On My Own (Live In Brazil)” is available to stream now at https://nxzero.ffm.to/theused_nxzero with a new music video available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU2Yi8de5uk
All proceeds from the track will be donated to the Legion of Good Will to assist those who were affected by flooding in Brazil’s Rio Grande do Sul region in May 2024.
Recently, The Used released their new deluxe b-side album MEDZ via Big Noise. The new EP offers seven new, never-before-heard singles from The Used from the Toxic Positivity writing sessions with John Feldmann in 2022 and 2023. The new tracks, including focus track “Terrified”, take the sound that has been synonymous with The Used throughout their storied career and elevate it with the same edge found in recently released singles “MEDZ”, “People Are Vomit”, and “Fuck You”.
MEDZ is available to stream now at https://theused.ffm.to/medz
