G.B.H.

Scrapbook

Arriving on the scene in 1980, Birmingham's G.B.H (Grievous Bodily Harm) quickly joined the top ranks of England's second-generation punk movement. They should not be confused with the new-wave group of the same name.
G.B.H. fused their politicized punk wrath with speed metal/hardcore firepower. Wrapping their nihilistic punk swagger and aggressive attitude in a full-metal jacket, G.B.H. dive head long into a reckless whirlwind of sound. One of the most popular and longest-enduring of the punk genre, they continue to be an important force in punk and hardcore.
Their malevolent blend of political commentary and brutal punk riffs display a refined and intelligent political punk sensibility that has influenced countless bands.
Some of their most important albums (and songs) include:
City Baby Attacked by Rats ("Slut" & "The Prayer of a Realist")
City Baby's Revenge ("Diplomatic Immunity," & Stooges cover -"I Feel Alright")
Oh No EP ("Malice in Wonderland")
Midnight Madness ("Limp-wristed")
These albums present the volatile hardcore guerrillas at their most slamming and should be included in the CD collection of any self-respecting collector of serious punk rock.
