Wild Billy Childish

In memory of Chris Broderick of the Singing Loins, who passed away early 2022 , Damaged Goods present a new studio album by Wild Billy Childish and Arf and Rob from The Singing Loins.

The Fighting Temeraire contains new songs, old songs re-worked, traditional songs and a Bob Dylan cover. HMS Temeraire was a 96 gun ship of the line, built in Chatham, as was HMS Victory.

After the passing of their dear friend, Chris Broderick, (lead Singer of The Singing Loins), Billy, Arf, and Rob decided to get together and record a 45 in his memory. The single ‘Song of the Medway’ soon led to this full-length LP.
