Making Friends (Brown Vinyl) (Reissue)

No Use for a Name is 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-80s hardcore act grew into a defining pillar of the 90s 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, NUFAN 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 continues to build on that momentum, delivering their tightest, most emotionally resonant, and career-defining collection of songs to date
