in 1985 the California music scene would be forever changed for the better by one of the most under appreciated and truly authentic hardcore bands to ever grace the stage, im talking about the one and only, Stikky...they were a three piece powerhouse of hardcore punk fury, consisting of Chris Dodge and Chris and Todd Wilder...these guys were amazing, seriously, i wish i could have had the privilege of seeing them live at one of the many Gilman St. shows they played...one of the tightest bands you could ever hear and also incredibly energetic and fun...they don't take themselves too seriously and you can tell by listening to this album that these dudes were purely in it for the good times and love of the music...theres plenty of between track banter on this 'Spamthology' and its pretty funny to hear the way these guys carry on with each other...i wish there were more bands like this...i also wish that Stikky had released more material...this album came out in 1997, long after the band had broken up, and its currently out of print...Chris Dodge started Slap A Ham Records back in the mid '80's and was responsible for quite a few awesome releases before the label called it quits...i don't think i've ever come across this online so i decided to post it here because i feel like this is, without a doubt, a must hear album...if you like punk, hardcore, power violence, Slap A Ham Records, cheese, Fonzie, or awesome music in general, then check this shit out now!!
