The Redemption Song of Brent Loveday
Words: Simone Jane
Photography: Sean Hartgrove
It was only a matter of time and one
line was all it took. Brent Loveday’s
year and a half of sobriety was
down the drain. Addiction is cunning
that way, though Brent admits he
was white knuckling it without the
support of a sponsor or meetings.
Life had been going extremely well
for the Tennessee native. His band
Reno Divorce had just come off of
a successful performance at the
Punk Roll Bowling Music Festival, a
goal they had been working towards
for years, and they had just found
a great booking agent for a tour
in Europe. Until the celebratory
cocaine binge in Las Vegas turned
into a full blown relapse.
