No Use for a Name (sometimes abbreviated NUFAN or No Use) was an American punk rock band from Sunnyvale, California,[1] formed in 1986[2][3] by Chris Dodge (guitar), Steve Papoutsis (bass) and Rory Koff (drums).
In late 1992, Dodge left the line-up,[2] and was replaced by the guitarist Robin Pfefer, who took over on lead guitar so that Sly could step down to rhythm and concentrate on singing.
With the punk music breakthrough in 1994, No Use for a Name received a larger audience after releasing this album, thanks to their video for the song "Soulmate" which was played on the MTV show 120 Minutes.
After releasing More Betterness!, Shiflett left the band in 1999 to join the successful Foo Fighters, being replaced by Dave Nassie.
A new fourteen song full-length studio album entitled The Feel Good Record of the Year was released on April 1, 2008.
[5] In August 2009, the band announced that Nassie had been replaced by Chris Rest, Lagwagon's guitarist and founding member of Rich Kids on LSD.
[8] Riddle, Rest and Rivera played a tribute performance to Sly at the Envol & Macadam Festival in Québec City on September 8, 2012, along with the former No Use for a Name members Nassie and Koff.
