The Used banned from Canada for 10 years

Canadian fans of The Used are going to have to wait a decade before they see the band play in their hometown again.  Border authorities have laid the smack down on the band due to singer Bert McCracken’s Canadian “criminal record”.

“When I say criminal record, I’m talking teensy, eensy misdemeanors they still have on my record from, like, 2001 and 2003 — trespassing,” says McCracken.

The band hopes to set up a series of “border shows” in Michigan, New York, Washington and Montana, to make it up to the Canadians close enough to drive themselves across the border for a show.

The Used’s latest release “Vulnerable” dropped March 27 on Hopeless Records.
