About
GBH IN CONCERT:
More than three decades after their debut, British street punk pioneers GBH continue to carry the torch for hard-charging, attitude-filled punk rock. The band's name stands for "grievous bodily harm", and they live up to the moniker with breakneck tempos, bludgeoning guitar riffs, and morbidly titled tracks like "City Baby Attacked by Rats". At their adrenaline-filled live shows GBH are as loud and snarling as ever, inspiring frenetic audience moshpits while frontman Colin Abrahall lords over the mayhem with wild-eyed intensity.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Charged GBH (commonly known as simply GBH) formed in Birmingham, England in 1978. The band's morbid lyrics, relentless drumbeats, and heavy guitar distortion distinguished them from first-wave punk bands and helped pioneer a harder style of street punk that became known as UK 82. Their 1982 debut LP City Baby Attacked By Rats was embraced by fans for its fast, aggressive songs, and is today regarded as a benchmark album in the development of hardcore. Since then GBH has stayed remarkably true to their original sound, thrilling fans with numerous albums, EPs, and live releases marked by their unflinchingly authentic sound. A consummate live act beloved for their pomp and showmanship, GBH continue to annihilate with epic performances on their must-see tours.

by spineK on 6/8/15Bottoms Up Bar & Grille - Fort PierceDrove all the way up to Ft. Pierce to discover that GBH was playing in Kokomo. It looked like the biggest representation of the crowd were from South Florida. Next time they should pay for the extra gas and come down to Miami. It would have been a sold out event. Wishes trey would have played some more old school tracks like The Forbidden Zone, I am The Hunted, Valley of Death, and City Baby's Revenger.
