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

Monday morning you woke up crying
The outcome of a stupid line oh-oh
Said by some punk-ass on the street
It wasn't me, it wasn't you
It wasn't anybody you knew is it
Your old friend insecurity?

The one companion that stuck by your side since you were born

Tuesday night you were in a fight
The same old argument black and white
It's something that's eating your inside
It's not the food, it's not the booze
It isn't anything consumed so is it
becoming a problem you can't hide?

So every time you thought that you were wrong you were right

The devil on your shoulder gives you strenght in paranoia
The countless times you called a few
Your best friend till the end of time
They'll always be there by your side
Solidify conditions you've abused
What that means you'll never have a clue

More than just a life long friend
No social life I guess we can pretend
It's not like I care but anyway
You always wanna leave, you never wanna stay
Cause you think if you drink too much then you will lose it
You'll drink your security away

The one companion that stuck by your side since you were born

The little voice inside your head, annoying and confusing
That somehow tells you what to do
Socially you've lost your mind and basically you're out of time
You try to build so much it breaks on you
What that means you'll never have a clue
