Needles & Grooves AotM /// Vol. 48 - June 2023 /// Tony Sly - 12 Song Program
- Thread starter scotthilk
- Start date
So let´s go through the hints again and see what we got
1.+2.+9+10: So if boston, 8 or 80s is not relevant it mightpoint to be related to a bar/tavern
3.) Rocks, pebbles,...? Do we know about this, Yet?
4.+5.) The number 12 is important
6.) American flag ==> could possibly point to Sly and the family stone - theres a riot
7.) San Francisco, Bay area
8.) Red Hot chili peppers- around the world ==> Do we have anything besides them being from California?
11.) Anything helping from other threads ? @scotthilk loves me first, NUFAN
12. ) Toy Hawks Pro Scater ? The name Tony? Music from the soundtrack? Skate-Punk?
13.) +17.) superman ( but not superman) => So maybe Cape as in Joey Cape
15.) Vans: Warped Tour participant? Skating-related?
18.) At least one guess very warm ? With the guesses points to something fat wreck chords adjacent
19.) Word game. Someone found Caddies and Rocksteady. Anything else?
with these guesses open:
11) Bad Astronaut - 12 Small Steps, One Giant Disappointment (guessed by @Hemotep )
13) Tony Sly - 12 Song Program (guessed by @D Jilla )
14) Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Blow in the Wind (guessed by @avecigrec )
15) Me Fist and the Gimme Gimmes - Have A Ball (guessed by @Fillip J Phry )
Tony Slys 12 song program is what i can tie to most hints ( 12 in the name, tony and sly referenced, he´s from the bay area, theres a bar on the cover, joey cape guests) but still not all
In addition to what you called out, here are the (sometimes questionable) connections I made for Tony Sly:
3) Best I could do was genre = rock (weak)
8) Track on the album called Via Munich (weak)
16) The first solo album from a guy in a longtime band - musical style is different from his band’s (solid)
18) NUFAN was a guess on the board at the time, so quite warm (strong)
19) The Mad Caddies - Punk Rocksteady album has a cover of Tony Sly’s track “AM” from this album (strong)

I give up….
Which now makes me believe that was your plan the whole time, in order to come up with the answer, you have to give up. It’s all so clear now! Bravo!
@scotthilk my final guess is Joey Cape’s Let Me Know When You Give Up

And now, on to the album…
When I was 13 or 14, my friend introduced me to NOFX and Rancid. At this point in my life, the only music I was listening to was whatever my parents were playing or what I watched on MTV's Total Request Live (guilty!. I never fully got into music, or realized that I could have my OWN taste in music. When I was first exposed to various brands of punk rock, I immediately felt at home. The storytelling.. the lyrics.. the energy. I ended up immersing myself deeply into the world of 90's/00's punk at the time which mostly consisted of Fat Wreck and Epitaph bands. I found myself going to the Warped Tour and local shows for the first time (my first show EVER was Blink 182, a few days after 9/11).
As I continued to dive deeper and deeper, I settled into listening to NOFX, Rancid, and No Use For A Name ALL the time. These were, and still are, my "big 3" when it comes to my favorite brand of punk rock. They are melodic enough for me while not completely tearing my ears off. I appreciated the storytelling, the humor, the imagery, and it just made me feel good listening to it.
My musical world would very quickly open up into a vast black hole of Pink Floyd, Beatles, Sublime, Doors, dance punk (see: The Faint!), and other styles of music - but - I would ALWAYS revert back to these bands.
No Use For A Name stood out to me as being different from most of the other bands I was listening to. The storytelling (yes, I keep using this word) was impeccable and the imagery they created for me in their songs was very meaningful. Songs about life, love, existential crises, loneliness, worldliness, family. All things that I was very much coming to discover and ask myself in my early teenage years.
I'd go on to see many-a-Warped Tours, No Use For A Name shows, punk shows, and even a Tony Sly show in 2010. I vaguely remember being in a mosh pit during NUFAN's set in +/- 2003 where my girlfriend and I started making out. It was probably only for 10-15 seconds, but it seemed like time stopped, every person stopped moshing, and it was just me / the girl / and the music. It's a very vivid and meaningful memory for me. Music and love were, are, and will always be my 1-2 punch.
Tony Sly, the singer and songwriter for No Use For A Name, holds a special place in my heart. He wrote some of my favorite songs ever. He wrote memorable, thoughtful, and inquisitive lyrics that still keep me asking the big questions.
Tony passed unexpectedly in his sleep in 2012. The cause of death was not publicly disclosed, and for his family's sake, I ask that we do not speculate here either as his wife (and maybe kids) will be reading this thread.
Tony left behind a wife, two kids, and a musical legacy. A small snippet of that musical legacy is captured in his first proper solo album,12 Song Program.
Here is a small write up I pieced together from my thoughts, as well as several eloquent reviewers before me:
12 Song Program is the first solo full length from No Use for a Name’s Tony Sly, and, as the title suggests, it’s a stripped-down, straightforward affair. Sly sets aside his band’s driving pop-punk in favor of lovelorn, isolated acoustic numbers. Oddly enough, though it’s a spare set, it’s actually got much more focus and energy than the last couple No Use records. The best stuff here — like “Via Munich” and “Keira” — Sly’s weathered voice fills up these songs of lonely drinking and longing. The best track here, “Amends”, pairs him up with the other resident singer-songwriter over at Fat Wreck, Lagwagon’s Joey Cape, and together they offer the most melodically tight song on the album, with just a hint of country sway that distinguishes it from the pack.
It’s rather difficult to pinpoint a specific genre on Sly’s first acoustic album. Don’t go into it expecting just a bunch of acoustic pop punk songs because that presumption couldn’t be further from the truth. This was Sly’s chance to be creative outside of his band and he wasn’t afraid to toy with different sounds. ‘Amends’ has a definite country influence to it, but it’s very upbeat and features guest vocals from none other than Joey Cape. Both singers compliment each other very well, but they never sound better than when they are flawlessly harmonizing together. Sly’s vocals are also impressive on ’Keira’ and the guitar picking seems to be inspired by folk. Other songs such as the standout ‘Capo, 4th Fret’ lean towards more of a straight up acoustic rock sound and are highlighted by Sly’s beautiful singing. He certainly has a lower voice than most singers and it helps add to the emotion of the album. Rather than sounding high pitched or whiny, his voice fits every song rather nicely.
Accompanying Sly’s unique singing voice are honest and heartfelt lyrics that are likely to hit home with many people. In the more somber songs, he sings lines such as “The sound of ice in a bottomless glass tells me that all is fine” or “The sun is coming out, but only on one side of this one-sided town”. Those still curious of the mood of the album should look no further than the album cover of a man sitting alone at a bar. That’s not to say there aren’t some upbeat songs, but for the most part it is a gloomy record that captures the undeniable talent of the late Tony Sly.
For those who haven’t had a chance to hear No Use For A Name or Sly’s acoustic material, 12 Song Program is a great place to start. It’s likely to please almost anyone with its influences of folk, country, and rock, but those who enjoy acoustic guitars are in for a real treat. The album is one of Tony Sly’s greatest accomplishments that will hopefully be remembered for years to come.
Many critics note that the album seamlessly blends elements of punk rock and acoustic music, resulting in a cohesive and engaging sound. The songs are well-crafted and emotive, with Sly's distinctive voice perfectly complementing the music.
It's also a much more personal album than political or social. 12 Song Program immediately calls to mind the 12-Step Program, and that's a matter of design. What Tony Sly has put together here is a bit of a concept album, arranged to tell a story, a progression of soul searching that carries through from start to finish. So while some tracks stand out more than others, what works best about 12 Song Program is its feel as an album.
Overall, "12 Song Program" is a standout album that showcases Tony Sly's talents as a songwriter and musician. The album's ability to seamlessly blend elements of punk and acoustic music, along with Sly's poignant lyrics and emotive voice, create a listening experience that is both memorable and timeless. If you're a fan of well-crafted, heartfelt music, "12 Song Program" is an album that should not be missed.
Last, I am very excited to note that I will be interviewing Brigitte Sly, Tony's wife. She will be answering some questions about Tony, NUFAN, this album, and anything else I decide to ask. Please stay tuned for this, which I expect to post on or around 6/1.
Last, to buy this album, please head here:

They JUST repressed this in 2 colors - red/white and lime. The red/white is available. Usually in limited quantity. Otherwise, the black looks sexy too! FAT ships international (I think, 95% sure). If not, you can send the album to me, and I will send it to you
There's probably more I forgot, and more I will add. But - for now, please listen to the album, share your thoughts, and help the spirit of Tony Sly live on.

Hint 1 - Cheers / bar. Album cover is a bar.
Hint 2 - Reiteration of hint 1
Hint 3 - Based on Google and reverse image search, these are Stones! Heading towards a SLY & The Family Stone Guess
Hint 4 and Hint 5 - Fans are referred to as the "12th Man" - album has 12 in it.
Hint 6 - Strengthing Hint 3, hoping you'll pick up on SLY Stone with the album cover almost exactly like "Riot Goin' On"
Hint 7 - SF. Fat Wreck Chords (label) is in SF.
Hint 8 - Singer is Anthony (Tony). Now you have first name and Last. Around The World can connect to song "Via Munich"
Hint 9 - Narrowing down Hint 1/2
Hint 10 - Also narrowing down Hint 1/2/9, and point back towards hint 4/5
Hint 11 - My previous AotM thread mentioned NUFAN and Tony Sly directly.
Hint 12 - Tony in the name (reiteration of Hint 8), soundtrack is skate-punk style
Hint 13 - Superman cape (start thinking Joey Cape, singer of Lagwagon, best friend and collaborator with Tony Sly)
Hint 14 - Narrowing guesses, and bringing attention back to SLY Stone.
Hint 15 - Vans Warped Tour - NUFAN played at several, including the first ever
Hint 16 - A solo release AFTER being in a band. "RAM" was technically his second, and 12 Song Program was technically his second. Also, loose, but a song on the album is AM
Hint 17 - Pointing Hint 13 closer to Joey Cape
Hint 18 - The warm guess was the NUFAN guess.
Hint 19 - 'Rocksteady' and 'Caddies' were the words i added. On this cover album, they cover "AM" which was mentioned in Hint 16 and also appears on the album.
Hint 20 - NO USE FOR A HINT!
