Gorilla Biscuits is a hardcore punk band from the United States known for their integral role in the New York hardcore scene. Active since 1987 and signed to Revelation Records, they deliver a punchy, energetic sound that captures the spirit of the genre. With Walter Schreifels leading the charge, their music blends aggressive riffs with melodic hooks, most notably showcased in tracks like "Start Today" and "New Direction." Their approach doesn’t shy away from introspective lyrics wrapped in high-octane instrumentals, making their songs both anthemic and thought-provoking. Gorilla Biscuits exemplifies the raw power and passion of hardcore punk, resonating with fans old and new.
