No Use for a Name was an American punk rock band formed in the mid-1980s, led by singer-songwriter Tony Sly until his death in 2012. They are known for blending melodic hardcore and pop-punk across several well-regarded albums.

Formed in 1986; associated with labels including Fat Wreck Chords; notable albums include Leche con Carne (1995), Making Friends (1997), Hard Rock Bottom (2002), Keep Them Confused (2005), The Feel Good Record of the Year (2008). Tony Sly died April 20, 2012.

Two DeBaser reviews note a clear melodic shift in No Use for a Name's later records, mixing melodic hardcore with pop-rock moments. Tony Sly's vocal tone is repeatedly praised even when the reviewers criticize an overemphasis on pop. The coverage highlights tracks and albums such as Keep Them Confused and The Feel Good Record of the Year.

For:Fans of melodic hardcore, pop-punk and punk rock; readers interested in album-level critiques and Tony Sly's work.

 The second-to-last musical effort by No Use For A Name (last year the new album "The Feel Good Record Of The Year" was released) confirms the melodic shift in the recent albums of the Sunnydale combo.
