One of the most uncompromising bands in the world. GBH originally formed in 1979 in Birmingham, England, initially known as “Charged GBH”, to avoid confusion with a band similarly named, later dropping the prefix after it was discovered no other band existed. Their first album, “City Baby Attacked By Rats”, was released in 1982 to critical acclaim and it’s follow up, “City Baby's Revenge”, released in 1983 fortified the typical GBH sound - noisy and distorted hardcore punk rock. All through the 80's and 90's GBH continued to release records and tour the world. GBH have toured everywhere, extensively in the U.S.A., through Mexico to Brazil and Argentina, from Israel and across Europe to Poland and even in Japan. Bands like Metallica, Nirvana, Sepultura, Slayer(who covered “Sick Boy” on their recent punk covers C.D.) have all cited GBH as an influence. 2002 sees the release of a new album “Ha Ha” and that is their best in years. Another album, another world tour, and with 28 years under their belt, GBH is bigger and better than ever! Currently the band are working on songs for a new cd and doing one off gigs around europe.Will keep you updated with any developments on this space.

Title: Rolling Stone Magazine says... Review By: agorapromo Date: 7/5/2005 Genre: Old-School Punk, Alternative/Punk, Rock/Pop, Hardcore Punk, Thrash/Speed Metal G.B.H. are back on the Punk track after getting lost in the mid-'80s in an attempt to cross over into Metal territory. These spiky-haired U.K. Punk legends have returned to their guitar-led, biting, sneering, kicking, fighting early '80s sound that justified punks around the world painting the G.B.H. logo on their leather jackets. Title: These guys kick ass Review By: Punkster4ever Date: 8/23/2005 They are one of my all time favorite bands. My favorite songs are Sick Boy, Big Women, Knife Edge, No Survivors, and alot more. These guys are fucking great
