Gorilla Biscuits - Start Today

Review by Sari Grove

Start Today by Gorilla Biscuits is an influential album that has managed to stand the test of time since its release in 1989. The album is a classic in the punk and hardcore genre, and it still resonates with fans and critics alike.

The album features 12 tracks that are fast-paced and energetic, with lyrics that deal with social issues and personal struggles. The songs are catchy, with sing-along choruses that make them easy to remember and fun to listen to.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Start Today," which has become a punk anthem over the years. The song is about overcoming obstacles and taking control of your life, and it's a message that still resonates with listeners today.

Sounding a bit more lively, but still flat as their debut, Gorilla Biscuits' second album Start Today is a 24-minutes album designed only for fans and the dedicated. Despite the sparse use of trumpet sample in the first track, the album flows as the band's typical job soon after. This band is a name among the "Hardcore Punk scene" for no apparent reason.
