The Buff Medways, a name reverberating with echoes of vintage garage rock, were fashioned with a distinctly British flair, spearheaded by the Medway scene's prolific stalwart, Billy Childish. Active primarily from 2000 until their disbandment in 2006, the group consisted of Billy Childish on guitar and vocals, Graham Day on bass, and Wolf Howard on drums—a power trio bringing forth a raw, energetic sound that was a hallmark of Childish's musical endeavors.

Their discography, rich with the ethos of bygone eras, paid homage to the quintessential rawness of the 1960s garage rock movement. Notable releases such as "Steady The Buffs" and "1914" encapsulate their dedication to vintage instrumentation and recording techniques, favoring direct-to-tape sessions that fostered an authentic, unpolished vibe. "Medway Wheelers,"—a record named after a bicycle club from their native region—further entrenched their status as cult heroes of the retro-garage rock revival. Though their presence on the scene was fleetingly brief, The Buff Medways left an indelible mark, celebrated posthumously through recordings like "The Last Of The Buff Medways E.P." and "The Xfm Sessions," which allowed fans a final, visceral taste of their raucous splendor. Their music remains a testament to the enduring appeal of stripped-back rock infused with historical passion and uncompromising attitude.
