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.

A rapid night, and I'm feeling good,
I paid enough an' I guess I should.
I've gotta get up, I've gotta go,
It's two o'clock, I've gotta go, my watch is slow.
Faster faster, the race is on,
Faster faster, I think I'm gone.
I cannot sleep when I'm in this state,
my mind is running, accelerate.
I'm talking fast, not saying much,
you're so close and I want to touch.
Increase my intake of nicotine,
I've got a small problem if you know what I mean.
But you can help me if you can,
then I'll prove that I'm still a man.
