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.

Makin' Whips Lyrics

GBH

You're getting under my skin,
the places that you've been.
You're dishing out the dirt,
and sure know how to hurt.
But you're going nowhere ya missing the whole damn point,
lighten up, lighten up and we'll rip the joint.
You're makin' whips, makin whips for your own back,
makin' whips, makin' whips you're gonna' crack,
makin' whips, makin whips.
Your empty headed dreams,
just like an old smoke screen.
You stand behind your spite,
don't know what's wrong or right.
Now it's grating on my nerves,
your twisting body swerves.
Got a self-inflicted bruise,
got rubber bumper blues.
Remove the thorns from your crown,
feel it when the whip comes down.
