The Used have announced the (temporary) recruitment of Saosin guitarist Justin Shekoski.

Shekoski joins the band following the news that Quinn Allman will take a hiatus from the band in 2015.

The Used write in a statement:

"We are saddened to announce that Quinn will be taking a temporary hiatus from the band for the next year.

Quinn is a vital part of the group and we wish him the best in his upcoming endeavors and look forward to the day he rejoins us on the road.

We are thrilled, however, to share that Justin Shekoski of Saosin will be filling in for Quinn as we hit the road this year! Justin has been a close friend to all of us for many years and will help make this tour a memorable one!

The Used."
