AllMusic[3]

Gorilla Biscuits is the debut by New York hardcore band Gorilla Biscuits.[4][5] It was later released in an expanded edition on CD.

Critical reception

AllMusic gave the album a mixed review, writing that "the first release from hardcore legends Gorilla Biscuits is a vital part of the band's history but still far from the classic Start Today LP issued only a year later."[6]
