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.

I've got a turbocharger, on my car,
without that power .. we wouldn't get far.
Let me take you back to when power first began,
rubbing sticks together can't be a lot of fun.
High octane fuel ..
I've got fuel injection, on my Cadillac,
when I push that button, I ain't coming back.
I've got a rocket booster, on my saloon.
If we waste power, we'll run out soon.
I've got solar panels to keep me warm,
and a nuclear warhead, to fry you all.
