After a relapse Into addiction Austin experimentalists streetsects are focusing on a balanced existence instead of rushing anticipated third LP.
Languishing in the corner, monopolizing the dust that might have otherwise spread to the grime-ridden walls, were boxes upon boxes of pills that Leo Ashline didn't need to take. Gabapentin, America's 10th most-commonly prescribed medication, is a supposedly non-habit-forming anticonvulsant drug frequently given out to sufferers of anxiety. Even stockpiled as the central ornament in the bedroom of a reformed drug addict, the collection seemed like harmless furniture.
It took just one bad shift at his miserable Amazon delivery gig to deliver four gabapentin into his esophagus. Ashline soon found himself leaning on the pills after work each day, always consuming enough to"black out" in an approximation of alcoholic inebriation. When the realization that he was abusing the medication blearily occurred to him, it was already too late.
“I would rather we just be honest here. Let’s not have this come out in a fucking press release a month from now.”The day brings two surprises. First, these are some lovely and not-at-all-fucked dudes. We meet early in the morning at the band's practice space at Mosaic Sound Collective – Ashline coming directly off a night shift as a security guard and still wearing his white-collared uniform. A compliment from Ringsmuth immediately validates my choice of a Converge shirt.
In some ways, it's a miracle Street Sects ever developed to the point of a meaningful dissolution. Ashline and Ringsmuth first met in turn-of-the-millennium Florida while sharing shifts in a Barnes & Noble Starbucks. Bonding through alcoholism first, shared musical ambitions second, the duo spent the next decade traveling across the nation, logging time in various go-nowhere bands as Ashline's addictions steadily worsened.
Unfortunately, Street Sects themselves could locate no similar solace – and not just because Ringsmuth continues to dismiss their modern classic debut as"amateurish." 2018 follow-uptumbled out to neither partner's satisfaction.
Ashline cleaned up the following January; he credits Patsy Bouressa and SIMS Foundation with saving his life, getting him into Recovery Unplugged despite having no insurance. Even still, texts and emails to his musical partner remained unanswered. Though wary of how new Streets Sects material might be received without Ringsmuth, it was crucial to Ashline's recovery that he press forward writing and recording music.
