Unknown to the band at the time the name was chosen, GBH is derived from the British legal phrase, Grievous bodily harm. Another band was using the name, so they added Charged onto GBH. It began with Colin (Col) Abrahall on vocals, Colin (Jock) Blyth on guitar, Ross Lomas on bass, as well as their first drummer Andrew Williams. The band mostly toured in England during the 1980s, however they did make several excursions out of the island, including several tours to the United States. Some of their most famous shows that they played during the 1980s were at the 100 Club in Oxford Street in London.

Crossfire Lyrics

GBH

Ya know we need a little crisis,
to prove our sacrifices.
Get the taboos lifted,
get the gears shifted.
Don't get caught in the crossfire,
don't sabotage yourself trying to get higher.
This whole situation is getting out of hand.
Don't get caught in the crossfire,
don't sabotage yourself trying to get higher.
Every outpost has roots into the land.
We think that we're barbarians,
but we feel more like titarians,
Scared of our emotion,
causing a commotion.
This could be explosive,
hunting without a motive.
I ain't no super-structure,
I'm flesh and bone, I fracture.
