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.

Midnight Madness And Beyond Lyrics

GBH

(USA) Staring through the boring Monatana skyline,
wishing that this journey would come to an end.
Rolling stoned I'm listing to the gussler,
I want a wash, I wanna' phone my friend.
When the sun comes down, we enter our forbidden zone.
When the sun comes down, you can't reach us on the phone.
Oh no, oh no, bang the drum, beat the gong ..
Midnight madness and beyond ..
(Japan) I'm only five foot eight but I'm a giant,
Ginseng roots have many mystic powers.
Bowing so much that my back is getting sore,
there's lots of gifts, lots of lovely flowers.
(Canada) Now it seems that this lot don't want us,
blingual forms to fill before we go.
We're not a gang of international terrorists,
we're just a band that's come to play a show.
So beat the drum and bang the gong,
midnight madness and beyond .. ..
