"Wild Billy Childish has been recording and performing since the 1977 punk explosion. The Pop Rivets, Thee Milkshakes, The Headcoats and The Buff Medways being just a few outfits that Billy has been involved with. All that is just a hobby -- his day job is being an internationally exhibited artist, writer and vermin poet. CTMF (The Chatham Forts) was the first group name Billy came up with for a group whilst he was Head of Research for The Medway Military Research Group -- investigating the Medway Fortifications (as well as being an Apprentice Stonemason at Chatham Dockyard, Kent, 1976). It wasn't until 2013 that Billy got around to utilizing the name. CTMF features his wife Julie on bass/vocals and Wolf Howard on drums (both playing with Billy in previous incarnations over the years). CTMF -- described by Billy as 'the epitome of modern: the sound of yesterday, tomorrow!' -- have released ten albums and over thirty singles/EPs. Wild Billy Childish & CTMF found themselves in the studio, once again cutting some of the finest noise to ruin the peace and quiet of the muddy River Medway. 'Searching From The Losing Place' takes Face A, with 'Batman' for Face B. Limited to 500 copies."
