2 winners (Born to Expire, Desperate Measures) and 2 snoozers (not worth mentioning). Great thrash, with that certain attitude that can only come from NYC.
Any fans?

Haven't heard'em in years. Saw'em open for Suicidal Tendencies in New York once years ago (circa 1990). If memory serves, they were a pretty cool live band.

Always dug the song Marathon' off "Born To Expire".Their "Adult Crash" album didn't go over too well.However ironically-i used to play in a band that covered "Three Wishes".I learned to love that song...

Born To Expire RIPS! I was never to hot on Desperate Measures for some reason (I'll have to try it again some time). I wish I could find a copy of B.T.E. at a reasonable price.

Mega-necro-thread-bump:
Leeway vocalist Eddie Sutton has passed away after a battle with cancer. He was 59 years old.
As my 2008 (!) self said earlier in this thread, I saw Leeway open for Suicidal Tendencies in NYC a loooooong, long time ago and I remember being pretty impressed with their live show. I've never owned any of their stuff but every once in a while I give Born to Expire a spin on YouTube and it's pretty damn fine crossover. I may have to fill that outstanding hole in my collection.
R.I.P. sir.
