Leeway is a crossover thrash band formed in Astoria, New York, USA in 1984 by guitarist A.J. Novello and vocalist Eddie Sutton under the name The Unruled. They played alongside groups such as Crumbsuckers, Prong, Ludichrist, Bad Brains, and Sick of It All at the predominantly hardcore punk-oriented CBGB venue and had metal influences from the start. Guitarist and songwriter A.J. Novello said: The fact that the band experimented with sound, had two guitarists riffing and solo-ing between them and the singer dressed in skeleton outfits and Yankees uniforms also set them out from the rest of the hardcore punk scene. In November, 1987 they entered the Normandy Sound studio in Warren, Rhode Island and recorded their first album, ''Born to Expire''. However, due to delays and postponements, the album was not released until January, 1989. Three follow-ups ensued – ''Desperate Measures'', ''Adult Crash,'' and ''Open Mouth Kiss'' – before the band split in 1996. There was a short lived reunion in 2006 which saw the band playing again,most notably with the Bad Brains, at CBGB and a European Festival tour, which was the last time the band performed live. Their song "Enforcer" has recently been featured on the playlist of the radio show "L.C.H.C" in the game GTA IV in 2008.
