I Want to Be WrongNo Use For A Name
This is a powerful track filled with anger and self-reflection from No Use for a Name, the American punk rock band representing melodic hardcore, taken from their April 2008 album “The Feel Good Record of the Year.” Its introspective lyrics and breakneck performance blend seamlessly, sharply challenging social discontent and fixed ideas.
Hailing from Sunnyvale, California, the band brought in punk heavyweight producers Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore, crafting the record at The Blasting Room.
