Biography

Whenever old punk rock fans gather to chew over the debris of their youth, sooner or later someone inevitably mentions Rikki & the Last Days of Earth. And the others all laugh. Even among people who've never heard the group, Rikki Sylvan and his barely remembered cohorts are generally regarded (and almost universally derided) for having released one of the most reviled albums of the entire late-'70s punk explosion -- as one critic put it, when your best song is a cover of an old Rolling Stones song, you know you're in trouble. In fact, "Street Fighting Man" wasn't even close to being the group's best number -- they themselves buried it away on the B-side of their second single.
