released the eponymously titled Gorilla Biscuits 7-inch EP

Revelation Records featured the early Gorilla Biscuits song “Better Than You” on one of their compilations, and later released the eponymously titled Gorilla Biscuits 7-inch EP in 1988, which later became a hardcore hit. The band toured the United States and Europe twice. In 1989, the band released their first full-length album, Start Today , which became the biggest selling ever for Revelation Records, and was also the first album that the label issued on CD, alongside its vinyl and cassette versions, as part of the routine production. The band started writing material for a second LP (an unreleased song, “Distance”, can be seen played by the band during a performance in the 1991 documentary Live In New York ) which they never recorded, and eventually disbanded around the year 1992. Some of the members went on to play in a follow-up band, CIV . Besides singing for CIV, Civ now owns a tattoo studio on Long Island. Walter went on to form the post-hardcore band Quicksand . He then wrote the songs for and helped produce CIV’s first album.
