At a party somewhere in London, the clock was creeping towards dawn, but Milkie Way and Sam Matlock weren’t ready to call it a night. So they did what any person in an alcohol-infused state would do – they turned to Fred Durst.
“Everyone was trying to do some holier-than-thou
SoundCloud rap thing that no one had ever heard, and no one liked,” remembers Sam, Wargasm’s vibrantly coloured-haired guitarist and vocalist. “We were like, put fucking Limp Bizkit on.”
They did and – boom! – the room suddenly erupted. “It taught us something about how human nature reacts to loud guitars,” he says.
It was a pivotal moment for the pair, who met at a gig in 2018. At the time, Sam – the son of original Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock – was playing with his punk band, Dead!, who split abruptly later that year.
