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.

Hey, hey, did you hear the news today ?
Someone just got killed in Boston.
Say, say, you'll get to hear it anyway,
they smoked him out with a gas bomb.
Future fugitives, future fugitives,
You're getting in the way.
Future fugitives, future fugitives,
No time to have your say.
When, when will the streets be safe walk ?
With none there to harm me.
Why, why, should we listen to the talk,
the blind are leading those who can see.
Now, now, is the time we've gotta act,
and save our skins from desruction.
Go, go and seal the pact,
stop the forthcoming eruption.
