NYC experienced a "rebirth of hardcore pride" as the allmighty Gorilla Biscuits made their "official," triumphant return to the motherland. Walter and the boys brought all-out, finger-pointing mayhem (as expected) to the barricade/bouncer-free B.B. King venue.



GB played almost every song they have, plus a a few covers from CIV, (is that really a cover?), Warzone and Project X. As expected, there was an array of NYC hardcore legends in the house, including Lou and Pete Koller (Sick of it All), Hoya (Madball), John Joseph (Cro Mags), Toby Morse (H20) and a dude in a banana costume.

Civ (the guy, not the band) made some jokes about the aging crowd making the trip out to the show after having their wives apply Ben Gay, which is probably true. He also said "seperate we are junk, together we are mighty." I am not sure if that goes for our man Walter, uh, Quicksand?

The bottom line is that the show was as amazing, if not better than we anticipated. Not to mention that Murphy's Law and Leeway also played.
