Street Sects is an American experimental music band from Austin, Texas formed in 2013, composed of vocalist Leo Ashline and multi-instrumentalist Shaun Ringsmuth. Their style is extremely abrasive, characterised by industrial rhythms, use of screamed vocals, samples of both noise and synthesizers, and nihilistic lyrics.
Street Sects place their work within the categories of electronic, noise, punk, hardcore, industrial, sample-based, power electronics and rock. Their label, The Flenser, described their music as „a feverish marriage between industrial music and punk rock” … „utilizing frantic, uncompromising rhythms and a variety of nightmarish samples”. Their style was addressed by various critics in reviews of End Position, which were generally positive. Adam Delvin of Tiny Mix Tapes described it as a harsh noise industrial hammer punk album”, noting that „Shaun Ringsmuth is an aural sculptor of rare form, mixing industrial rhythms made of machine gun parts and bursting crash cymbals with psychedelic, transgressive melodies of alien origin”.Rolling Stone recommended the duo to fans of Big Black, Youth Code and Agoraphobic Nosebleed, describing their music as a „lean, murderous blend of synths, samples, pained vocals and industrial rhythms” featuring „nightmarish noise, punk and industrial punchouts”. Tristan Jones of Sputnikmusic wrote: „Street Sects combine dirty synths with traces of noisecore and industrial piss, underscored with thoughts of suicide and misanthropy.” Dæv Tremblay of Can This Even Be Called Music? called their music „hardcore plunderphonics”. Stephen Proski of New Noise Magazine praised the interplay between Ringsmuth’s sophisticated musical structures and Leo Ashline’s (screamed) vocals, which he called „intimate and vehement”.
