House On Fire
Wild Billy Childish + CTMF
Wild Billy Childish + CTMF’s House On Fire is a 2026 album released on Damaged Goods Records, bringing Billy Childish back together with Nurse Julie on bass and vocals and Wolf Howard on drums and percussion. It follows 2023’s Failure Not Success and continues Childish’s long-running devotion to raw garage rock, punk, beat music, bluesy riffs, and stripped-down rock ’n’ roll. The album includes twelve new original recordings alongside reworked covers of The Saints’ “Untitled” and The Yardbirds’ “Shapes of Things.”
The record has the direct, unfussy energy typical of Childish’s work: rough-edged guitars, driving rhythms, blunt melodies, and a sense of urgency that values feel over polish. Tracks like “The Magpie’s Flown,” “Bridge Burner,” “Keep Mojave Weird,” “Blues That Kills,” and “House on Fire” suggest a band leaning into its strengths rather than trying to reinvent itself. House On Fire is not positioned as a dramatic departure, but as another sturdy, spirited entry in Childish’s vast catalogue, full of garage-punk bite, outsider charm, and plainspoken rock immediacy.
