if you haven't heard no use for a name you're missing out. get "leche con carne" and "making friends" immediately.

Pop punk is easier to explain to the masses. That's why I called it that... but I don't think calling them pop punk is a stretch. In the 90's, that's what it was to me.

One of my fondest memories of growing up was going to my first No Use show at the Troc. They opened with Rain In Blood and played and incredible, fun set. Then the Mad Caddies went on and I was like, "Let's go get more Mickey's at the Cop Shop."

they been around since late 80's they put out great records, the stuff on new red archives was a little more punk rock, when they signed to fat wreck chords they went more melodic. so melodic punk / hardcore like face to face or 88 fingers louie, sad day

This a pic I took less than a week ago. There are a few artists that truly do leave their mark on the world and Tony was one of them. The NUFAN catalog helped shaped me into who I am today and I owe Tony more than I realize. Such a bummer.

Damn it. This is horrible. It sucks when people just die out of the blue. Never realize how much someones music means sadly until they die and you know you will not get to hear it live or anything new anymore.
