The Used Share Animated Video for "Giving Up"

The Used have shared new a new animated music video for "Giving Up". Directed by digital artist Gabriel Russo, the video takes us on an introspective journey across the imaginative landscapes of Bert McCracken's psyche. Swallowed by the earth, various animals, and caricatures of McCracken, viewers are transported through a colorful sequence of galaxies and deserts. Russo’s cut-out animations pair seamlessly with the visual imagery stitched into "Giving Up" as viewers spot moonlight in darkness and flowers in the dirt. At its core, the video illustrates the mental frenzy in finding silver linings among the chaos.

Dan Auerbach And Joe Walsh Collaborate With Their Mutual Mentor - Unsung Ohio Guitar Hero Glenn Schwartz - On His Original "Daughter Of Zion"

Easy Eye Sound has unveiled the latest piece of their upcoming blues anthology Tell Everybody! (out August 11), which pays tribute to Glenn Schwartz - a formative mentor to Easy Eye Sound founder Dan Auerbach, as well as to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Joe Walsh. The two musicians - along with The Arcs - back the unsung Ohio hero on his original "Daughter Of Zion," which stems from recording sessions at Nashville's Easy Eye Sound Studios just before Schwartz's passing in 2018. For Schwartz, this final chapter collaborating with Auerbach and Walsh - even making an unlikely Coachella debut with them in 2016 - is a fitting last twist in one of music's most unpredictable careers.
