Biography

No Use For A Name (sometimes abbreviated NUFAN or No Use) was a punk rock band from San Jose, California. Starting out in 1986 as a hardcore punk band, the group went through a number of early members until a lineup coalesced around singer/songwriter/guitarist Tony Sly and founding drummer Rory Koff. Their first two albums were released through the New Red Archives label, after which they signed to Fat Wreck Chords where they would remain, releasing seven studio albums and shifting to a melodic punk rock sound. Bassist Matt Riddle (ex-[a=Face To Face] and [a=Pulley]) joined in 1995, and guitarist Dave Nassie (ex-[a=22 Jacks]) replaced Chris Shiflett (who left to join [a=Foo Fighters]) in 1999, cementing a lineup that would remain in place for ten years. Nassie left in 2009 and was replaced by Chris Rest (also of [a=Rich Kids On LSD] and [a=Lagwagon]), while Koff bowed out in 2010 and was replaced by Boz Rivera (ex-Rich Kids On LSD and [a=Mad Caddies]). No Use For A Name disbanded following Sly's sudden death in July 2012 at the age of 41.

LYRICS

Father works the late shift,
mother drinks herself to sleep
brother's outside fiending with
a match and gasoline
They told her lies and gave her
no hope for tomorrow
and all the fairy tales just fade away
the brightest day of all the one that
she's been needing
turns to gray

The boyfriend calls her crazy,
teacher bores us all to sleep
and friends are in the bathroom
speaking just like enemies

Nobody understands her heart
that's left there bleeding
the dirty secret living in her mind
they'll always tell you that you lit the fire
you're feeding left behind

Always there to make you think that
you're no good
there's nothing wrong with what
you've done
they just wanna lift you up and throw
you down
and make you stop when all
you wanna do is run

Nobody understands the shame that
you've been feeling
the dirty secret living in her heart
it must be hard to put the pieces back
together, torn apart
