Leeway's Eddie Sutton has passed away

Following the move into hospice care earlier this month, Leeway frontman Eddie Sutton has passed away after his battle with lung cancer. New York crossover band, Leeway, was found in 1984 and despite never achieving notable commercial success, Leeway is considered to be an integral part of the 1980s NYHC and crossover thrash scenes, continuing to be a influential force even in today's new bands and music.

RIP Eddie Sutton.
