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.

Infected Lyrics

GBH

You wake up one day,
to find you've been thrown away.
You've got no energy to speak,
you're just too damn weak.
Infected, infected,
injected misdirected.
Infected, infected,
and to it we're all subjected.
Your true self can't be found,
too busy slothing around.
You're staring into the sky,
death reflected in your eye.
M8 debts are chasing you down the street,
you run along on unsteady feet.
Wonder why you've got a turkey attack,
with a monkey livin' on your back.
Go on and stick it in,
gotta puncture the skin.
All of your loves in vain,
it's like playin' with a train.
