They were the one of first bands to take us on tour after we finished 'Page Avenue.’” Mansala also added that The Used played a big role in the success of Story of the Year. “I've always admired how they were the fearless leaders of our early 2000s scene, and I'm so proud of the friendship we built so many years ago.”
