Tony Sly, vocalist and lead songwriter, of veteran skate punk band No Use For A Name has passed away at the age of 41. His cause of death has yet to be disclosed.

In a statement on the band's label website Fat Wreck Chords, Fat Mike posted the following:

"One of my dearest friends and favourite song writers has gone way too soon. Tony, you will be greatly missed."

Sly joined the band in 1989 replacing founding member John Meyer and went on to release some of the bands most successful material with 1993's Leche Con Carne marking a high point for the group as their single 'Soul Mate' entering rotation on MTV.

Though their popularity waned in recent years, No Use For A Name are respected veterans in the scene and still an inspiration to a generation of punk bands.

Tony Sly will be sorely missed and our thoughts go out to his family and friends at this difficult time.
