Wargasm singer's head 'held down backstage toilet by bouncers'

Wargasm had put on a live performance at the Pentonville Road music venue as part of Facedown, which bills itself as " London's biggest rock night".
The Band 's Social Media post states they were packing up their kit when Security Guards were " verbally aggressive" to their female tour manager, which led to Matlock " having to step in".
