This is a classic sXe hardcore album. Gorilla Biscuits have the true HC attitude and the lyrics on this album reflect that. "Hold Your Ground" has helped me get through some tough times in high school. The song is about staying true to yourself even when people won't accept you because they can't understand difference. All of the songs basically have the same structure, but they are very enjoyable because they're aggressive and also very catchy. The only thing I really wish I could change about it is the length. This classic album ends way too soon! With that aside, I would still definitely recommend this album for some great old school hardcore from one of the best bands of the time.

If you don't have this EP, and you consider yourself a fan of Hardcore, you should pick it up before you buy any other albums. Civ, Luke, Walter and Arthur really F-it up on this potent chunk of what "Positive Punk" (SxE) Hardcore was all about. Put down the Earth Crisis CD and see what HC was really about before THOSE militant, Vegan B-Boy wannabes snuck onto the "scene". This album is the Hardcore equivalent to Led Zeppelin IV.

Gorilla Biscuits remains, to my (very very subjective...) opinion, one of the most influencial hardcore band ever issued in NYC. Among the legion of bands playing in the New York scene then, they displayed a unique identity... They sounded differently and they had the hability to create instant "tunes"... I used to appreciate a lot, in my late teen years, their POSITIVE attitude... Life may be a bitch, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't handle it in a different (and positive) way! To that date, every song in "Gorilla Biscuits" album is still enjoyable and able to kick your a**, even if I have some favourites... But, I won't tell you, not my job... Just made your own opinion... Anyway, I think ALL are great, it just depends on the mood you are when you're listening these bullets...

this album means alot to me. the music is incredible and the lyrics are positive. this is a must for every hardcore fan.

I know there are a lot of people that just love GB to death. I like them and this EP put them on the map, but I think they're a bit over rated. They have some almost comical verbals on the record...at least for someone from the west coast. "Yo Sucka! You got a big mouth! badha po!" What the hell is that? I don't mean to be overly critical. I like the band and like the songs, just not worth 5 stars for me.

The EP that followed the best hardcore album to this day. It's got some really good songs on it as well as a few that don't do to much for me. It's very obvious that these songs are written by someone that will go on to do better things.

"no reason why, to beat up on a poser skin, no reason why, to keep the little kids from getting in,.." ...this is a classic.
