The Band
Leeway, originally known as Livid, started somewhere around 2002. The beginnings of Leeway cannot be defined clearly. It began with a few friends jamming together in our drummer’s sitting room after school. The beginning was meek, and we could only compete against hollering cats. But practice makes perfect and in 2004 we started our career as professional performing artists.
The band got to a slow start, playing the occasional gig in bohemia and opening for friends, and friends of friends. At this time we where being "managed" by a friend. We truly grateful to all the effort he put in. He has left us since then, as he found it important to pursue his musical career. It was time to get serious. At the end of 2005 we recorded our first CD (due for release soon I hope :)).
2006 was the start of a new era. With demo in hand and a new eager manager in the lead, we were ready to take on the world. Our sound has progressed into neatly gelled melodic rock. We have found our style and comfort zone, its time for the people to stand up and take notice, Leeway is here!
