Demos from the Basement is an independently released CD by The Used. When the CD was released the band was called "Used" not The Used. The CD did not have a name until theUSED801.com titled it Demos from the Basement in 2002 and the name stuck. This album was rumored to have been recorded in ex-drummer Branden Steineckert's basement however it was recorded at a local studio in Utah. It contains 10 demo tracks that differ slightly from the songs on their studio CD's. It was released in June of 2001 which is only 6 months after The Used became an official band. There were only 200 copies made and the CD was handed out for free by The Used at local shows back in the day. It is now very hard to obtain a copy of this CD.
