Written by Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock says he is open to the idea of writing new material with vocalist Frank Carter.
Gallows frontman Carter joined the punk icons in 2024 after Johnny Rotten (aka John Lydon) fell out with Matlock, Steve Jones and Paul Cook over Danny Boyle’s Disney+ biopic series about the band.
Carter’s performances with the Pistols have been widely praised and now Matlock is considering whether there is a scenario in which they could record new songs together.

He tells UCR: “Frank’s great. I hadn’t really thought this through before, but working with him, it was kind of like working with John, who did write the most fantastic lyrics.
“Frank writes lyrics and all, but we haven’t got to that stage with him yet. But it was like we was full of youthful exuberance with John before he got his face in the newspapers, there’s a kind of a bit more of an open honesty.
“He’s kind of revitalised us, really, you know? I think he’s the right man for the job.
“I’ve got some ideas, if everybody wants to do it, and then you know, there’s … who owns the name of the Sex Pistols. It’s more complicated than just doing it. Who knows?”
Elsewhere in the interview, Matlock discusses the Pistols’ origins and early days, as well as their first foray into the United States.
The Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter begin a North American tour in September.
