Gbh

GBH (short for Grievous Bodily Harm) is an English punk rock band formed in 1978 in Birmingham. The band's original line-up consisted of Colin Abrahall (vocals), Colin "Jock" Blyth (guitar), Ross Lomas (bass), and Andrew "Wilf" Barratt (drums).

GBH quickly gained a reputation for their aggressive sound and confrontational lyrics, which often dealt with social and political issues. The band's early releases, such as their debut album "Leather, Bristles, Studs, and Acne" (1981) and the EP "City Baby Attacked by Rats" (1982), were highly influential in the UK punk scene.

GBH toured extensively throughout the 1980s, playing alongside bands such as the Exploited, Discharge, and the Varukers. The band also released a number of successful albums during this time, including "City Baby Attacked by Rats" (1982), "No Need to Panic" (1984), and "A Fridge Too Far" (1986).

In the late 1980s, GBH began to experiment with a more commercial sound. The band's 1989 album "No Survivors" featured a number of catchy pop-punk songs, which helped to broaden the band's appeal. However, this move alienated some of the band's more purist fans.

GBH continued to release albums and tour throughout the 1990s and 2000s. The band's later releases include "From Here to Reality" (1992), "Black Sheep Running" (1996), and "Perfume and Piss" (2006).

In 2010, the band was forced to cancel a number of shows after vocalist Colin Abrahall suffered a stroke. However, Abrahall eventually recovered and the band returned to touring and recording. In 2014, GBH released their fourteenth studio album, "Momentum".

GBH is considered to be one of the most important and influential punk rock bands of all time. The band's music has been praised for its energy, passion, and social commentary. GBH has also been credited with helping to popularize the punk subgenre known as street punk.
