The influential, long-lived punk metal band GBH rose to prominence in England
during the early ‘80s when hardcore punk began inching toward heavy
metal. Emerging from the streets of Birmingham, England, GBH pioneered
hardcore punk and thrash yet refuse to categorize themselves or their music.
“We play punk rock, period” says lead singer Colin Abrahall. We just carry on,
playing what we like. We never set out to do anything other than that.”
GBH never stray far from their working class roots. You are just as likely to
find GBH playing a local pub in England as a multi-thousand fan festival in
Spain or Japan. The fact is GBH enjoy playing small clubs just as much as
large halls. “Some of my favorite shows in the States are in small towns”,
says guitarist Colin “Jock” Blyth, “the kids there don’t get a lot of bands coming
through. They’re so excited and there’s so much energy; it’s a real communal
thing.” GBH maintain a very active touring schedule which includes
headline shows and festivals worldwide. Their brand new Hellcat Records
album entitled Momentum will be the band’s follow up to the acclaimed 2010
release, Perfume and Piss.
