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.

They shocked the world cause they wanted to live.
They had no food, no alternative.
Lost in the snow weak in the mind.
Starving and cold ate their own kind.
Had no choice, lost and alone.
Eat the flesh, spit out the bone.
Malnutrition was setting in.
They needed protein and a will to win.
Cannibalism the only way ..
the logical answer to live another day.
A code of conduct they must go by.
No sign of help coming from the sky.
How much longer can they survive ..
with only human flesh to keep them alive ?
