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.

The adrenaline flows as the shadow grows.
Footsteps clatter and my teeth chatter.
They're here again to administer.
Heavy discipline, is everyone listening ?
Heavy discipline, no one should be listening.
You'll get a gut feeling as they send you reeling.
You'll feel the heat as they knock you off your feet.
There's no escape .. from this social rape.
You've gotta pay, being young today.
So the pressure's on and the freedom's gone.
The line gets thin with all this discipline.
