Gorilla Biscuits
New York straight-edge outfit Gorilla Biscuits (ironically named after a Quaalude) has been around almost as long as there's been such a thing as “straight edge.” Lead singer Anthony “Civ” Civorelli and guitarist Walter Schreifels have been doing their thing with both the Biscuits and other NYC hardcore groups for over two decades, and they’ve still got a dedicated cult of drug-free fans who continue to worship at the altar of its seminal 1989 full-length Start Today. But even if you’re a slave to the demon rum, you can still enjoy the band: Unlike Ian MacKaye’s more accusatory salvos, Gorilla Biscuits keep things short (most songs are less than two minutes long) and surprisingly fun.
