Long Island high schoolers Anthony “CIV” Civarelli, Arthur Similios, and Nick Drysdale crossed paths while attending shows at CBGB in the mid-‘80s. After bonding over their mutual admiration of thrash groups like Agnostic Front, Arthur asked the other two to form a hardcore band with him and in 1987 Gorilla Biscuits was born. After recording a few lo-fi demos, the group released their 1988 self-titled EP before heading out on a US and European tour. Even though their full-length debut Start Today was a milestone for the melodic hardcore movement, it was also their swansong. Following the breakup, many of the group’s members joined their frontman in his solo project CIV, while principal songwriter Walter Shreifels formed the band Quicksand. Gorilla Biscuits have reunited numerous times over the years for one-off shows and full-scale reunion tours in 2006 and 2007, showing old fans and first-timers that they can still hold it down. They continue to carry the torch for classic hardcore lovers everywhere, and ticket buyers can expect them to deliver hard-hitting performances anytime they tour.
