RIP: Tony Sly (No Use For A Name)
No Use For A Name singer Tony Sly has passed away 41 years old.
Sly joined the long-running punk band in 1989, releasing nine full-lengths with the band, as well as various EPs. In addition to his career with No Use For a Name, he released several solo acoustic records, including a pair of releases with friend and Lagwagon frontman Joey Cape. I recently reviewed their latest release. No Use For A Name’s Leche Con Carne was and still is one of my favourite skatepunk records.
