His work appears on the band’s self-titled debut, Maybe Memories, and In Love and Death, releases that went on to become platinum-certified touchstones for a generation of emo, post-hardcore, and alternative rock fans.
After The Used, Branden joined Rancid, stepping into one of punk rock’s most respected institutions and continuing a career built on endurance, reinvention, and underground credibility. Beyond the stage, he has worked across production, songwriting, directing, brand-building, and sports culture, including Ghost Pickleball and his role as the creator of Real Salt Lake’s anthem “Believe.”
In this episode of The Akiva Abstract, Branden joins Akiva Alpert for a conversation about The Used, Rancid, punk rock, survival, sobriety, reinvention, band dynamics, creative independence, and what it takes to keep building a life in music after decades in the scene.
