Allison sits down with Bert McCracken, the frontman of one of her favorite bands, The Used. In addition to being one of the landmark bands who defined the sound of the early 2000s, they have continued to thrive for the last 22 years and after 10 studio albums, Bert is making his solo debut under the moniker and album title, “robbietheused”. We talk all about the new album and it’s pop-leaning direction, his humble beginnings and tumultuous journey, sobriety, lessons learned, optimism, hope & redemption.  • Watch & Subscribe https://youtube.com/AllisonHagendorf  • Listen & Follow: https://link.chtbl.com/TheAllisonHagendorfShow  • Follow Allison:  Official Website: https://allisonhagendorf.com  https://instagram.com/allisonhagendorf  https://TikTok.com/@allisonhagendorf  https://twitter.com/allihagendorf  The Allison Hagendorf Shop: https://allisonhagendorf.myshopify.com  Presented by Cloud Water  Visit https://www.cloudwaterbrands.com & Use code Allison30 for 30% your next order An A-Game Production / Recorded at Danny Wimmer Presents Studios  Produced by Allison Hagendorf, Brian Jaffe, & Jake Miller Guest gift bags - Arctic Zone  https://arcticzone.com   Wardrobe by Road To Ruin Apparel Photos by Nikki Phillips & Jake Miller https://first3noflash.press/ Show Open Created & Edited by Guerilla McGavin  https://instagram.com/guerillamcgavin  https://guerillamcgavin.com Show Open Music (Courtesy of Island Records): Kid Brunswick - Bipolar Rhapsody - https://sptfy.com/Q31a  Show Music: Ferdinand fka Left Boy - Sex Party - https://spoti.fi/3juqX1O #BertMcCracken #TheUsed #RobbieTheUsed 00:00 - Show Open 02:49 - Bert McKracken Interview 04:02- robbietheused new album 07:50 - Vocal Prowess 08:45 - Lessons from the album 11:15 - Relationship with Feldy 12:32 - robbietheused live show 13:10 - Wake Up Call 14:07-  Taste of Ink Era 17:01 - Debut Album 18:41 - Childhood 19:25 - Osbournes 20:25 - Escaping Darkness 22:24 - Meeting Allison 23:36 - Fatherhood 25:09 - Pandemic 28:12 - Deep Cuts 35:58 - Outro Learn more about your ad choices.
