Leeway vocalist Eddie Sutton may have screamed that snitches get stitches on Born to Expire’s “Squealer,” but we’re not afraid to tell you the cold hard truth: the New York enforcers’ 1989 debut LP is a certified crossover classic. Mixing the double-barreled thrashing of early Anthrax with the mean-muggin’ tough guy feel of NYHC — and chock full of screaming leads from underrated guitar virtuoso A.J. Novello — Born to Expire is a masterful, metallic wrecking ball that mixes precision attacks with the chaotic spirit of a CBGB’s matinee mosh pit.
