Gorilla Biscuits was formed by Smilios and Civorelli after the two met in high school in Long Island, New York. The band released their self-titled debut EP in 1988, and their debut studio album, Start Today, in 1989. Start Today gave Gorilla Biscuits underground popularity following its release, and they have since been considered one of the most seminal youth crew bands.
