CTMF is an embodiment of raw, unadulterated garage rock, infused with punk energy and an undercurrent of indie sensibilities. The creation of stalwart British musician Billy Childish, renowned for his prolific output and influential role in the Medway scene, CTMF carries on the tradition of Childish's earlier work with bands like The Milkshakes, Thee Mighty Caesars, and The Buff Medways. With a career that has seen the release of over 100 albums, Childish's CTMF project celebrates a DIY ethos, blending poetic lyrics with lo-fi production and a traditional rock 'n' roll backbone.

Their music is characterized by gutsy guitar riffs, forthright songwriting, and a nonconformist attitude that disregards mainstream polish in favor of authenticity and passion. Through records like "100 Yards of Crash Barrier" and live sessions like the "Marc Riley 6Music Session," CTMF captures the spirit of punk while maintaining a unique identity. Traces of Billy Childish's broad artistic influences, from visual arts to literature, permeate the music of CTMF, making them a conduit for raw expression that resonates with fans of the underground music scene. Their latest releases continue to assert their status as torchbearers of the garage rock revival, unapologetically preserving the legacy of one of the UK's most enduring and iconoclastic talents.
