Editorial Reviews
Over the years, few records have earned the distinction of "classic." Within the punk and hardcore realm, even fewer have made an impact on the way an entire genre sounds. At the top of that short list, however, is Gorilla Biscuits' Start Today. Hailing from NYC, Gorilla Biscuits carved a niche within the NY hardcore scene. Blending the aggression and energy of bands like AGNOSTIC FRONT with a sense of melody likened to the DESCENDENTS and DAG NASTY, Gorilla Biscuits still stands as a unique reference point for every hardcore band that has come after them.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I purchased this album in high school and the fact that it was my first official Hardcore Punk album I ever sought out definitely shaped my musical taste and passion for aggressively optimistic and forthright music. That purchase was well over 10 years ago, too.
Every song is wonderful. I don't feel I can say the same about the other releases by GB but not only is it true for START TODAY, the 1989 release by Gorilla Biscuits (their second release). They all feature the pivotal themes of late 80s Youth Crew HC (fast and way more punk than current HC -- this isn't a knock on current HC which I also enjoy).
Tracks like THINGS WE SAY, TWO SIDES, FIRST FAILURES and CATS AND DOGS particularly stick out to me - with the title song being the weakest--ONLY if I had to chose a wing song.
A Hardcore Punk masterpiece.
NB: If you like this album then still check out the rest of the GB discog, but also check out the other great Youth Crew HC bands that became popular in the late 80s/early 90s on the East Coast, like YOUTH OF TODAY or FLOORPUNCH.
ESPECIALLY check out CIV - SET YOUR GOALS and DAG NASTY (though the singer has cleaner vocals).
Some newer bands to check out would be CHAMPION and a little of LIFE LONG TRAGEDY and IN MY EYES. Some good non-English bands would be THE GEEKS (Korean) and maybe even ENDZWECK (Japan). Finally, the classic joke band GOOD CLEAN FUN would probably be right up your alley...though I'd imagine if you already have GB then you'd heard of at least one of these bands!

These are one of the seminal bands of the genre & this is a great album. Not much more needs saying
Es wird nicht hirnlos geholzt. Die Songs lassen durchaus so was wie Songwriting erkennen. Das Problem vieler anderer Bands, dass es eigentlich nur einen schnellen, einen sehr schnellen und einen Song mit Breakdowns gibt hatten die Grilla Biscuits nicht. Geschickt wird das Tempo etwas variiert, auch mal ein catchy Refrain verbraten (höre ich da schon irgendwo den Vorwurf bzgl. Sell Out???) und mit brauchbaren Texten versehen.
Wer das Album noch nicht hat sollte das baldmöglichst ändern.
Super thankful.
率直な感想は、理屈抜きで、カッコいいと思いました。このバンドは、ハードコアと云っても結構ポッブでキャッチーな
メロディーセンスも兼ね備えているので、自分のようなハードコア・ビギナーにとっても聴きやすいのかもしれません。
あと、一曲一曲の時間が短いのも功を奏していると感じました。トータルでも25分弱ですから、ダラダラしていません。
