Artist: The Used
Show: Late Night With Conan O’Brien
Synopsis: Although a lot of people might dismiss this nominee simply because it features screamo-punk band The Used (even though the group’s first two albums were great; the last one, not so much. Lies For the Liars? Honestly?) this energetic performance of “Pretty Handsome Awkward” is still notable for its unique ending. If you don’t think you can endure 3:33 of their music, then just skip ahead to the 3/4 point and check out lead singer Bert McCracken’s majestic drum kit dive.
