1. Leeway was 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:
“ We might have helped open up a can of worms by bringing suburban metalheads to shows. Years later, it kind of ruined things in the scene, but I can't say I have any regrets.”
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. They recently reformed.

Leeway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bows down to none
Cops and cowboys is his life
And everything he's won
No matter how he slices
Any which way but loose
Action is his vice
Adrenalin his juice
Turn around face me
Gravedigger you better make it three
Turn around face me
The good, the bad, and the ugly
Do whatever I say c'mon and make my day
A fistful of dollars is what you're gonna pay
And hell followed with him
The pale rider destined
Spit from his jaw
And Josey's never questioned
The lyrics of Leeway's song Enforcer describe a character who does not bow down to anyone, who is strong and fearless, and whose passion lies in action and adrenaline rushes. He is a man who thrives on the excitement of his job as a police officer or cowboy and has won everything he has through his hard work and determination. The song references and draws inspiration from iconic western movies, as the lyrics mention the "good, the bad, and the ugly," "pale rider," and "Josey."
The phrase "turn around face me, gravedigger you better make it three" can be interpreted as a warning to someone who is about to cross this character, suggesting that they should be prepared for a fight. The line "do whatever I say c'mon and make my day, a fistful of dollars is what you're gonna pay" further emphasizes this character's authoritative and intimidating nature.
