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.

See the man see him run,
where's he going where's he coming from ?
What's he carrying under his arm ?
Stay away it'll do you harm.
See the man run.
Why's he sitting in the dark ?
Who's he meeting in the park ?
Who's he calling .. on the phone ?
Counting out cash all alone.
What's in the box being wrapped ?
Why's his phone being tapped ?
Under surveilance every day.
Special branch got nothing to say.
What was he arrested for ?
Selling junk, breaking the law.
Addicting kids just looking for fun.
The pusher is pulled .. but the damage is done.
