When it comes to CLASSIC Fat Wreck bands NO USE FOR A NAME certainly need no introduction, but here's the scoop: NO USE FOR A NAME were one of the first bands on Fat Wreck Chords and remain a cornerstone of the label roster. Their unique take on California punk emphasized equally innovative and catchy melody, paired with top-flight musicianship. Despite the tragic passing of singer and songwriter Tony Sly in 2012, their presence can still be felt today, as their influence is evident in the work of many other artists. Over the course of their more than 20 year career, NO USE FOR A NAME amassed an impressive catalog of albums packed with hit songs. From their debut Fat release The Daily Grind almost 25 years ago, to their final studio album The Feel Good Record or the year in 2008, NUFAN has and always will be a Fat Wreck staple. We recently unearthed some demos and early versions of some of the best NO USE FOR A NAME songs. The response was unanimous- People must hear these! So alas we bring you Rarities vol. 2 The Originals. Side A gets the listener hooked immediately with rare versions of songs that have only appeared on compilations. The B-side contains never-before heard demos from the classic NUFAN album Hard Rock Bottom.
