No Use for a Name was an American punk rock band from Sunnyvale, California, formed in 1986 by Chris Dodge, Steve Papoutsis and Rory Koff. The band's sound evolved considerably through its career, starting off as a Bay Area-influenced punk band, moving on to a much heavier metallic-tinted sound to finally taking on a much lighter brand of melodic punk as the years passed. Following Tony Sly's death on July 31, 2012, the remaining members chose to disband the group out of respect for him.
