5.0 out of 5 stars the most underrated NYHC band EVER, September 3, 2004
By 
SCHIFF71 (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Born to Expire / Desperate Measures (Audio CD)
This cd is a MUST have for anyone who even thinks they know hardcore. It's a combo of two of the best cds ever (in my opinion). It baffles me that so many college djs who spin
punk/hardcore shows have no f-ing clue who LEEWAY is.
I'm also baffled by some of these "listmania" individuals who put together hardcore lists that doesn't include LEEWAY, or Run Devil Run (who you also need to check out).
Did i mention that this is a MUST HAVE?

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Stuff, May 9, 2004
By 
This review is from: Born to Expire / Desperate Measures (Audio CD)
Great band. Often overlooked when it comes to the New York crossover scene as their first album didn't come out till 88'. They sound a bit like Megadeth and Slayer combined with Agnostic Front and Cro-mags. Great stuff. Born to Expire is the best of the bunch as it'sfast and furious. Desperate Measures is a bit slowed down with a big Sabbath influence. Still great though. Be interesting to know what happened to these guys...

5.0 out of 5 stars This is good stuff, March 27, 2004
By 
This review is from: Born to Expire / Desperate Measures (Audio CD)
This album will appeal especially to people not from around the NYC area. This is where it all started... Leeway were one of the original crossover bands... combining speed metal and the underground hardcore sound happening in the east village and alphabet city in NYC at that time. True hardcore bands were 'heavier', but Leeway really defined a sound. Definitely worth a listen... particularly to Rise and Fall, Be Loud, Born to Expire, and Mark of the Squealer. Email me and tell me what you think... gbrice@optonline.net
