"We wanted to say [no] to the genre of music that's eating us all alive right now - emotional screamo." So says The Used frontman Bert McCracken talking to Mtv News about his band's next album, which is supposed to be out in March. "We want to establish ourselves as something brighter than just this dimly lit singled-out genre that's going to fade away in a couple years. We're just rock kids�."- - more on this story
