Why did they choose the name No Fun At All?

Why did they choose the name No Fun At All?

Ever wonder where some bands come up with their band names? Well, we do, and we’re sick of sitting around scratching our heads about it. We’re hitting the streets (aka. “Internet”) to find the origins behind some of the more bizarre, intriguing or just plain random band names in the scene. Every Wednesday we’ll be […]

Ever wonder where some bands come up with their band names? Well, we do, and we’re sick of sitting around scratching our heads about it. We’re hitting the streets (aka. “Internet”) to find the origins behind some of the more bizarre, intriguing or just plain random band names in the scene. Every Wednesday we’ll be pulling the curtain back on a different band and this week it’s Swedish skatepunkers No Fun At All.

According to some deep, deep research by our crack team of punk rock detectives (or two minutes I spent on Google), the band chose their name by combining the title of the tongue-in-cheek Sex Pistols cover of The Stooges classic song No Fun and the band name for New York hardcore veterans Sick Of It All.

Hard Hitters Merchant Ships have broken up a second time, this time seemingly for good. The band writes that this time around, the break up isn’t as dramatic as last, citing creative/personal differences. According to a recent blog entry,

“Believe it, we’re breaking up a second time. I’m sure some of you have heard varying degrees of the truth, but the official reason is going to be “creative and personal differences” and I/we can’t stress enough that this time it’s not as dramatic as last time. We had arguably the best time of our lives on tour and for all it’s worth I wish we could do that forever, but there are weird riffs in this band that will never be explained.”

The band have posted their two albums available as a free download on their MySpace page but ask for donations to help pay off the costs of recording and touring. Read more here.
