Originally known simply as GBH (inspired by then-bassist Sean McCarthy’s trial for grievous bodily harm), their name was changed to Charged G.B.H in order to differentiate themselves from another band of the same name. Founding members were Colin ‘Col’ Abrahall (vocals), Colin ‘Jock’ Blyth (guitar), Sean McCarthy (bass) and Andrew Williams (drums).
Charged G.B.H embarked on several English and mainland US tours during the early 1980s, including several gigs at the 100 Club. 1982 saw G.B.H’s first LP, City Baby Attacked By Rats. Lyrically, the album dealt with criticism of British and European culture, violence, morbidity (especially in reference to the song “Passenger On The Menu”, which describes in graphic detail the experiences of the passengers on the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571), atheism, nihilism and general absurdity. Musically, the album was loud and fast, with few songs exceeding three minutes. In 1983 the band changed their name to G.B.H.
Unlike many early punk bands who evolved towards a more post-punk sound, G.B.H have stayed fairly faithful to their original UK82 sound in subsequent releases. However, the band have experimented to some degree with a more metal-inflected sound, notably with their 1992 release Church of the Truly Warped, although they have since returned to a more purist punk sound. The band is still active and touring and maintain a strong following both in England and the rest of Europe, as well as in America and Japan.

Charged G.B.H Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And now I want a night of lust.
Can't wait around here anymore.
So take me home you dirty whore.
Slut, slut ..
Dirty bitch
Now I wanna try your pants on.
I don't care if you're really crude,
I wanna see you in the nude.
Suppose you think it's fun to. tease.
Spread around social disease
Don't care how many you have had.
Just lie down I want it bad.
You think you look pretty cute.
Black and shiny diving suit.
High heels with a nine inch spike.
Something about you I know I like.
The lyrics of Charged G.B.H's song Slut reflect an intention for a night of lust with a woman who is perceived as promiscuous, crude, and disease-ridden. The persona of the song is attracted to the woman's physical attributes, particularly her bust, and is seeking to satisfy his sexual desires. The song objectifies and degrades women by calling them sluts, dirty bitches, and associates them with the spread of social disease. The song portrays a hyper-masculinity that seeks to dominate and control women, reducing them to mere objects of sexual gratification.
The song promotes a toxic and misogynistic viewpoint, which has been criticized for perpetuating the culture of rape and sexual violence. The lyrics are explicit and derogatory towards women, and it is quite alarming that this song was even created. Besides, this song glorifies drinking, objectifying women, and promiscuity while completely ignoring the woman’s consent. It's unfortunate that there is a widespread normalization of such a mindset in music and society.
