Neil Leyton is a prominent player in the Toronto rock scene. Living over in Calgary, I haven't felt the presence of this scenester quite as much as an Ontario native might and From The Brighter Side of Her Midnight Sun is the first exposure that I have had to Neil. Canadians take note of Mr. Leyton's contributions to the nations music scene. He is very dynamic and creative in all his musical explorations. There are some tracks where Neil sounds like At The Drive-In (the politically fueled "The Fading Ways Manifesto"). He then, somehow, follows up that track with a latin piece called "Sangue Latino". He can easily go from an aggressive style to a sweet melody not only during the length of the album but sometimes within the course of a song. This introduction to the artist shows that he is extremely diverse in his musical endeavors. Not only is Neil an established musician, he has also started a label called Fading Ways.
