Stikky was an American punk rock band from the Gilman Street-scene, formed in 1985. The members were Chris Dodge (bass, vocals), Chris Wilder (guitar, vocals), and Todd Wilder (drums, vocals). Their songs are known for being hardcore yet still retaining the sense of humor that East Bay bands were known for. After the band stopped playing with any regularity, bassist Chris Dodge released some of their material on his own record label Slap A Ham Records.

The group recorded an 9 song demo in 1985, and then another in 1986. The band was later featured on the Lookout! Records' compilation, The Thing That Ate Floyd. During their active years it was common for them, Isocracy, Operation Ivy, Corrupted Morals, Sweet Baby Jesus, or The Lookouts to open a bill for a touring punk band almost every weekend at Gilman Street.
Each member of the band has expressed repeatedly that Stikky never officially broke up and is indeed still a band today, though they've not played together in perhaps 20 years. All are close and dear friends and have hinted at the possibility of an alcohol-induced reunion, but aren't sure what good that would be to anyone.
A posthumous anthology of all recordings of the band, titled Spamthology: Volume one (there was no volume two... get it), was released in 1997. It is now discontinued.
