The Used have confirmed that they’ll release their new album titled The Canyon later this year.

The follow-up to 2014’s Imaginary Enemy is set to arrive on October 27 via Hopeless Records.

Vocalist Bert McCracken says: “I’ve learned as an artist that a great idea is such a gift. If I don’t stop whatever it is I’m doing, even if while driving, if I don’t pull over at that moment, then maybe I didn’t deserve the idea to begin with.

“I learned to respect and worship the ideas in that way, that they are and will always be something sacred. Stopping in that moment was a brand new approach for us during this process.”

To mark the album announcement, The Used have released a video for new track Over And Over Again.

Find the cover art and tracklist for The Canyon below. The Used will head out on the road with Glassjaw across the US at the end of October.
