i drove 3 hours through the snow to see them at the anthrax club in ct for what i think was the first show there after this 7 inch came out, at most 30 people in room, it was amazing and will never forget it,
@Ryan Paul You don't know anything about GB then. This is the furthest thing from so called tough guy hardcore. This is old school positive straight edge. What you're talking about is the vast majority of the garbage parading itself around these days calling itself hardcore.
@@charlestruby5094 Wait, what!!!! Do you mean The Rink in Merrillville Indiana? I used to skate and go to local shows, don't remember a skate rink in Dyer. I'm from Da Region and saw many shows at The Rink in Merrillville. In fact I played there a few times in a thrash band I was in. Punk was NOT big in NW Indiana in the 80s. I got turned on to it in like 88 or 89 when this dude from Chicago gave me a punk mix tape. THAT MIX TAPE CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER. It had Gorilla Biscuits, Swiz, Descendents, 7 Seconds, Naked Raygun, Mucky Pup, Black Flag, Fugazi, Minor Threat, DRI, Dead Kennedy's, Sick Of It All, Social Distortion, Husker Du, and Circle Jerks. All bands I still listen to over 30 years later. I wonder what other non local bands played The Rink. It was always a fun night seeing shows there. One of few places local bands could play, along with The Hammond Arcade.
Ive always been into hiphop, rap, classic rock, blues music but when i saw noisey documentary on the wave of punk/hardcore punk music im starting to like its flavor more and more !
I'm 60 n saw them early on..NYC n NJ had pretty decent scene for hc by 85 slot small wild shows.. RIP court tavern..new Brunswick NJ .Trenton NJ south river, Staten island,byc,n burbs..hope your still fighting the cause....1 2 3 4...
@@misanthrope161 In punk, and especially hardcore, the bass always has more of a role in the song. For example, this album, Green Day's early stuff (notably Longview, Panic Song, Welcome to Paradise, etc.), The Freeze, Gang Green, and Dead Kennedys.
This has so many of the qualities that I loved as a NY hardcore fan in the nineties. This shaped the bands that I liked and they slipped past my radar. Washington was doing it better back then.
as a youth i associated GB with the crews of hardcore kids in the scene whom I perceived as enemies..didnt really get into em until my late 20s. But when i finally came around, found the messages of peace and positivity in this music to be undeniable. Down 100%.
Still have the paper stickers of this 7" cover that were tossed into the pit on their first tour. They look a little faded but not bad for being almost 30 years old. Great fuckin show.
bought the vinyl during the 90's. Let's be honest, GB was a shitty band... And Straight Edge is fucking embarrassing for anyone true to Punk or hardcore...
well there's a lot of good bands, for example : Jhonny and the rapists, sto, puff on', Raool... These were great bands hard to find on the internet but they were original and great.
Im not straight edge but It kinda did save my life. And overseas GB are considered legit. Maybe it is a matter of being a part of that scene, so you have a better angle on the things. All in all I love hardocre straight edge or not. Salute to all who love this honest music.
You sound stupid Marc Knight...originators..If your not sure of what your talking about ask a friend.. did you leave a message like that on your Ace of Base videos..🤣🤣🤣
Man, I totally forgot about this band. I used to listen to them a lot back around '91, '92. I'm surprised I still know all the songs like it was yesterday.
I always thought their name was interesting. a straight edge band called gorilla biscuits which is apparently hippie slang for pot brownies. another one like that is the Mentors like who's mentor would they be? but it works
Actually they were clandestine pressed quaalude pills(wafers) that were being sold around the lower east side of Manhattan. They were big. Hence the name "Gorilla Biscuits".
Gorilla Biscuits is what they called these yellow qualudes in their neighborhood of NY...at least that what i heard Civ say in an interview. But yeah...hilarious for a sXe band!
These guys and SICK OF IT ALL are my favorites of NYHC. The other big ones really only have one decent album and all the macho posturing gets tiring after a while. Also bands like BIOHAZARD are metal not punk, I don't care what people say... Of course I am not including the mighty BAD BRAINS because they are from D.C. not NY.
+Robert Brewster Hmmm not really. It's more an evolution of original punk, lyrically. More about solutions to problems as opposed to the problems themselves. Also HEAVY AS HELL
I wouldn't say so. When people say hardcore punk I think of bands like Fear, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, etc., etc.. And those bands are certainly not straight edge.
I see what you're saying. Yeah a lot of straight edge bands like Minor Threat and Bad Brains very heavily influenced modern hardcore and they were straight edge. But you can't deny that those other bands are hardcore (not saying that you are implying that) and they certainly aren't straight edge. I suppose David Boyd put it best.
Man way too many... when I was young ect ect! Young people are overdosing at a record rate and all you can post about is the music! If the essence of straight edge still lives in your old ass go help some of these kids now!
@@voiceofreason1208 i thought they were originally from ct and went to NY. turns out they were from ny and played a lot in ct. btw i know about being btwn ny and boston. i'm from new london ct. it was a great place to be. you could go to either and bands from both cities went through ct on the way down or up the coast. i came up in the mid to late 90s
I bought the cd during the mid 90s. But let's be honest tho, this is a SHITTY band. Best hardcore ad punk comes from Europe as always... Straight edge is also pretty embarrassing for anyone watching back at those years...

Amazing record. Must have seen them at least 10 times in late 80s early 90s

True
Yep. Just listened to Start Today and turned my mood better instantly

Back 4 years later to reitterate this. Bideh-boh!

Been listening and living hardcore and punk music for 30+ years now, heard much of GB but never heard this ep, ok now I can die, yes oh yes
This is bringing me life in 2022. I’m late to the train but I am definitely not getting off at any stop.
talk about music for motivation, this warms up the blood 'al instante'
right on point girl
Yep i always jam old school hardcore skating back in the day
hardcore saved my life
Live hard and stay true. This band and the other notable Youth Crew bands around this era were phenomenal.

Totally regret not buying this 45 at my local record store, picked up a project X 45 instead
+Teddy Groat Neither a bad choice
not a bad choice at all. but passing this even on repress is a bummer. my favorite GB release
lol i passed on this 7" too, in favor of chain of strength 7". dont regret buying the c.o.S. but should have bought both in retrospect
Well the Project X 7" is worth $1000 now so I'd say you made the right choice lmao
