AMG Review of Live in a Dive

Kurt Morris
All Music Guide

No Use for a Name's Live in a Dive is exactly what it sounds like it might be: a live album. However, it hardly sounds as though it was recorded in a dive. With excellent sound and even some live video material as part of the CD-ROM, the quality is spectacular and comes off without a hitch. For those unfamiliar with NUFAN's sound, this ancient (in terms of the melodic punk rock scene) band plays a nice blend of melodic hardcore and hard-nosed punk. Fans of the band will not only appreciate hearing the band's live sound (especially if they've never had the chance to see them), but more importantly they'll dig the comic book that comes with the LP or as part of the booklet in the CD.
