Take You To Warm Places

Tuesday 15 December 2015 would have been Dickie Hammond’s fiftieth birthday.

Dickie’s untimely and recent passing shook not only those closest to him but also the punk world as whole, such was his influence and the positive impact that he had on the community.  Whilst most of us are familiar with the majority of Dickie’s works, his final pieces have not been announced/released, until now.

Following the demise of Leatherface in 2013, Dickie Hammond and Graeme Philliskirk (also of Leatherface) joined Hugo Mudie, Fred Jaques and Julien Blais (all of Montreal, Canada’s The Sainte Catherine’s) to form Medictation.

Medictation went on to record their debut LP “Warm Places”, which was due to be announced early this year before the aforementioned events overtook.  Now (following the blessings received from Dickie’s mother and son) Medictation are able to announce their impending release and share Dickie’s final works.

We have teamed up with New Noise Magazine to being you the first listen of Medictation’s  track Memories of Youth (being the first track from the LP Warm Places).  Go listen to it here.

The album shall be released on 29 January 2016.
