Review by Matthew Gehrman

Gorilla Biscuits' self-titled album, released in 1988, has been reissued in 2018 with a remastered version of the original tracks plus a bonus live set. The album is a classic example of the New York hardcore punk sound, blending fast-paced riffs, aggressive vocals, and socially conscious lyrics.

The album's opener, "High Hopes," sets the tone with its catchy guitar riff and urgent vocals that call for unity and perseverance in the face of adversity. "Big Mouth" and "Cats and Dogs" showcase the band's ability to mix melody and aggression, while "Sitting Round at Home" and "Hold Your Ground" address issues of identity and self-respect.

The bonus live set captures the energy and intensity of Gorilla Biscuits' live shows, with standout tracks like "New Direction" and "Start Today" inciting the crowd into a frenzy.
