GBH in Stoke-on-Trent

GBH is an English punk band formed in Birmingham in 1978. Initially billed as Charged GBH, the group became known for fast, abrasive hardcore punk through releases including Leather, Bristles, Studs and Acne, City Baby Attacked by Rats and City Baby’s Revenge, as well as songs such as “Sick Boy” and “Give Me Fire.” A 1983 performance at the Ace in Brixton captured GBH during the early City Baby period. The band later carried that repertoire into decades of international club and festival dates, including appearances at Rebellion Festival in Blackpool and Punk Rock Bowling in Las Vegas.
