United By Walter has confirmed the rumours that influential and beloved hardcore act Gorilla Biscuits will be reuniting this August for a US tour. The tour coincides with the re-release Gorilla Biscuit's classic second full length, Start Today. The album was originally released in 1989.
The disc will feature in depth liner notes written by Walter Schreifels, it will also feature a DVD of the CBGB's reunion show from August of last year. UBW adds that a special exclusive 7-inch will be available at stops on the tour. Formed in the 1980s, the band helped define upbeat melodic hardcore and has been cited as a singular influence by a generation of hardcore bands. Guitarist Walter Schreifels' went on to form a succession of respected acts including Quicksand, Rival Schools, and Walking Concert. Frontman Anthony "Civ" Civocelli formed Civ, and drummer Sammy Siegler performed with a number of acts including Glassjaw and Nightmare of You. Revelation Records (184 comments)

I had to sign up and make my first post for this. I loved these guys back in the day but can't help but think Civ wants to line his wallet with this and nothing more. 6+ Replies

I seriously just shit myself...first I got to see Lifetime again (before they announced they were a band again) and now I get to see Gorilla Biscuits? I can die happy...

start today was actually the band's first (and only) full length, not their second. the self-titled record was only an EP. yes, the re-issue has a bunch of bonus tracks, but an EP with bonus tracks is still not their first album.

This better to come to OH or TX when I'm there. I'm not much of a GB fan but the energy would be amazing.

Oh god no. Bold's touring eastern Europe and now Gorilla Bisquits is doing the US? Sorry, but there were much better youth crew bands than either of these- heck, even the joke bands Project X, Grudge, and Crucial Youth kicked both bands outta the rotation on a daily basis! 14+ Replies

seriously. songs from 1987 have negligible relevance - especially when they're being sung by a 35 year old man whose room's a mess and he can't get dressed. kinda lame. 3+ Replies

I'm sure they won't come to SLC, I don't know how much of a draw they'd be. Gorilla Biscuits, at least 'round these parts, don't get nearly the credit they deserve. In fact, I'm the only person I know in the area who's into them at all. 3+ Replies

Give it a fucking rest. Why won't these bands let sleeping dogs lie and stop tarnishing their legacy. Gorilla Biscuits were an amazing band about 15 years ago. This is just sad. Fuck. 1+ Reply

Recent ones, Lifetime, Gorrilla Biscuits, guesses for the next band to reform.
