Album Description
Available in:
Desperate Measures is the second album by the New York City thrash metal band Leeway. It was released in June 1991 on Hard Rock Hotel/Profile Records as was its predecessor, Born to Expire in 1989. It was followed by 1994's Adult Crash.

It features two line-up changes from the previous album: Jimmy Xanthos and Pokey replace Zowie and Tony Fontão on bass and drums respectively.

While the previous album showed a clear hardcore influence, the sound on Desperate Measures is of thrash metal akin to Anthrax or Testament. However, like its predecessor, it had fans in both metal and hardcore camps.

Unlike the previous album, Desperate Measures shows more of a rhythm & groove but yet melodic oriented sound with a little variety, such as songs like "Kingpin" incorporate elements of a rap metal/rapcore sound, while another song like "2 Minute Warning" had more of a hip hop/rap & funk influence.
