Medication - St Jesus Malverde

  Thanks to Graeme Philliskirk (bassist with Medication and boss of Little Rocket Records) for allowing me to upload today's song to Youtube so I could share it with you today. The song is by Sunderland (and Canadian) band Medication and it was the last track that the late Dickie Hammond played on. It wasn't included on the band's Warm Places album (https://medictation.bandcamp.com/releases) and was unreleased though that's all changed now as it's included (as a tribute to Dickie) on the excellent vinyl only compilation, Pulsebeat. Put together by ex Dr And The Crippens bassist Wayne Elliott, the comp is only available on limited edition coloured vinyl and it features 17 killer songs from bands that have featured on Wayne's Global Punk Network show. Wayne will be playing a selection of songs from the comp on his show later today (details and link here if you want to listen :  https://www.facebook.com/events/343682879730538/

  As well as the exclusive track from Medication, the comp also features the likes of Just Some Punk Songs' favourites The Domestics, Pizzatramp, Accidente, Natterers, Holiday, Epic Problem and many more. It's jointly released by some of the UK's top labels (TNS, Kibou, Little Rocket Records, Boss Tunage, Urinal Vinyl, Brassneck, Pumpkin) and you can get it here :  https://pulsebeat.bandcamp.com/

  Alongside ex Leatherface members Dickie Hammond and Graeme Philliskirk, Medication also featured Hugo Mudie, Fred Jaques and Julien Blais (all from Montreal band The Sainte Catherines). The track you'll find below is named after Jesus Malverde, a Robin Hood type figure and a folklore hero in the Mexican state of Sinaloa.

  Showcasing how strong an album Warm Places is (if they could afford to leave this off), this is St Jesus Malverde...
