R.I.P. Leatherface guitarist Dickie hammond!!
if you were one of the people who never bothered to listen to leatherface because you heard they were synonymous with Jawbreaker/Hot Water Music/"beard punk" you get the jist.. but no, they wouldn't be the pantheon of bands wearing the influences more than just on their sleeve, it's on their entire attire and tattooed on their face and schlong. They are liked because they make music that transcends genres. They write amazing songs. If they played folk music, they'd write amazing folks songs.. jazz, same situation. They write brilliant, honest songs that can't be contained, random ones have been stuck in my head at random periods for random years. check them out if you haven't at the very least in respect for the dearly departed.
a true legend, brilliant and incendiary musician, knew exactly when they play and when not to, can't speak for a man i don't know but the music of the band he was in got me through some very difficult times in life.
