The Swedish hardcore band No Fun at All formed in the small town of Skinnskatteberg during the summer of 1991; led by songwriter/guitarist Mikael Danielsson, the original lineup also included singer/drummer Jimmie Ohlsson and bassist Henrik Sunvisson. After completing the group's 1993 debut, Vision, Ohlsson exited to focus his full energies on his other band, Sober; with new frontman Ingemar Jansson, lead guitarist Krister Johansson, and drummer Kjell Ramstedt, No Fun at All returned in 1994 with No Straight Angles, followed a year later by Out of Bounds. In the wake of 1997's The Big Knockover, Sunvisson quit the group, with Danielsson assuming bass duties; new second guitarist Stefan Neuman was installed in time for 1999's Live in Tokyo. State of Flow followed in 2000, but it proved to be the band's final studio album. In 2003, NFAA's Swedish label, Burning Heart, united with American punk stalwart Epitaph to release Master Celebrations, a fan-picked 24-track retrospective spanning the band's career.
