 No Use For A Name are a melodic punk band from San Jose, California, blending blistering skate-punk speeds with deeply melancholic, unforgettable pop melodies.
 What began as a scrappy late-1980s hardcore act grew into a defining pillar of the 1990s punk rock explosion, earning fans through relentless international touring and releases that perfectly balance grit and heart.
 Drawing comparisons to Lagwagon, Millencolin and Strung Out, No Use For A Name pairs introspective, emotionally raw lyrics with fast-paced, harmony-driven arrangements built for sweaty club shows and massive circle pits.
 Their songs tackle alienation, broken relationships and the struggles of everyday life, creating a connection that feels both intensely personal and universally cathartic.
 With their album ‘Making Friends’, the band continue to build on that momentum, delivering their tightest, most emotionally resonant and career-defining collection of songs to date.
 LP pressed to Brown colour vinyl.
 Debut of Chris Shiflett on lead guitar, who would leave to join Foo Fighters.
 Produced by Ryan Greene (NOFX).
 Considered the gold standard for late 1990s melodic hardcore.
 Catalogue sales of over one million.
