Street punk pioneers Charged G.B.H. formed in Birmingham in l978, the name referencing original bassist Sean McCarthy's trial for grievous bodily harm. The in-your-face hardcore of EP 'Leather, Bristles, Studs And Acne,' paved the way for super-charged debut LP 'City Baby Attacked By Rats,' which hit the number two position on the British indie charts on release in l982, as well as the mainstream top 20, despite being released by tiny independent Clay Records. With a touch of Motörhead and Sabbath beneath their straight-up hardcore, 'City Baby...' is where the legend begins, capturing G.B.H. at their bloodiest. Limited to 500 copies only, including a double sided insert and an exclusive photo licensed by US photographer Alison Braun in a 60x40cm folded poster!
