RIP Tony Sly

Terrible, terrible news today from the Fat Wreck website. Tony Sly, frontman of No Use For A Name, has passed away at age 41. No news yet on cause of death. I can't even begin to tell you the impact that these guys had on me, especially their earlier stuff. "The Daily Grind" was without a doubt one of my all time favorite albums growing up. I had a copied cassette that I picked up from somebody along the way that I absolutely wore thin. I remember in the early 00's seeing them in Las Vegas and at that time they had pretty well distanced themselves from any of their early stuff and were refusing to play any of it. I had seen them countless times before and they would not play anything before "Leche Con Carne", well I don't know what wild hair they got but for an encore that night they played "Feeding The Fire", the place absolutely exploded and went nuts. It was one of the greatest punk moments I've had. Tony will be missed greatly and all of us at Leather send out our thoughts and prayers to the Sly family.
