The group initially consisted of Mikael Danielsson (guitar), Henrik Sunvisson (bass) & Jimmy Olsson (vocals, drums). The band is originally from Skinnskatteberg, a small town in Sweden. Their name was inspired by a tongue-in-cheek mixture of the Sex Pistols' version of the Stooges song "No Fun" and the name of the band Sick Of It All.

The line-up soon became (and still is...)

Kjell Ramstedt - Drums
Christer Johansson - Guitar
Stefan Neuman - Bass
Ingemar Jansson - Vocals
Mikael Danielsson - Guitar

On 11 November, 2001, after ten years together and over 250,000 album sales worldwide, No Fun At All decided to quit. Since 2004, No Fun At All has performed some reunion gigs. At the reunion show at the Groezrock Festival, No Fun at All announced that they would bring out a new album in the fall of 2008 through their own label Beat 'Em Down Records. On April 19, 2012 the Millencolin Festival announced that No Fun At All canceled their show at the festival due to their disbandment [1]. As of May 2013, however, the band is active again and will be touring Australia in November of that year with Boysetsfire, Off with Their Heads and Jughead's Revenge.

No Fun At All Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got to find a way to see you
But you're avoiding me I really don't know why, yeah
So many people say I'm handsome
I'm so confused that you won't see me all the time, yeah
I know it won't be long
Until you hear this song
I know it won't be long
Until you sing along

What will I have to do to get you
You just ignore me when I try to catch you're eye, yeah

I beg you please to reconsider
I won't give up until you stand here by my side, yeah
