Gorilla Biscuits is the first album, released as a 7-inch EP, by the hardcore band Gorilla Biscuits.[4][5] It was later released on CD.

## Critical reception

AllMusic gave the album a mixed review, writing that "the first release from hardcore legends Gorilla Biscuits is a vital part of the band's history but still far from the classic Start Today LP issued only a year later."[3]
