Milkie Way

Rachel Alexandra Hastings (born 9 December 1997), known professionally as Milkie Way, is a musician from Northern Ireland. Born in County Antrim, she moved to London to study at the London College of Fashion and spent time as a model and a concert photographer. She and Sam Matlock formed Wargasm in August 2019, and their mixtape and album Explicit: The Mixxxtape (2022) and Venom (2023) peaked at number 19 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart and number 88 on the UK Albums Chart respectively. Hastings also played bass guitar as a session musician for Barns Courtney and Yungblud and featured on Trash Boat's 2021 single "Bad Entertainment" and Gunship's 2023 single "Monster in Paradise". Her performance of "Bad Entertainment" at the 2021 Heavy Music Awards caused its Twitch account to be banned for three days, prompting defiant social media posts from the ceremony, Hastings, and Trash Boat's Tobi Duncan.
