Today’s guest is Anthony Civeralli most people know him as Civ; frontman of Gorilla Biscuits and CIV. Gorilla Biscuits have witnessed nearly four decades of global scenes, audiences, and stages and somehow, they’re as powerful now as they were in the late ’80s. That kind of longevity is no small feat.

Civ’s most recent chapter came unexpectedly. A few years ago, he released his first book, A Roadie’s Tale, built from original journals and primary documents that reconstruct Youth of Today’s 1987 summer tour offering a rare, grounded look at hardcore history as it was actually lived.

Today we’re talking about identity, values, memory, and what it takes to stay rooted across decades of culture and change.
