charged gbh , commonly known as gbh , are an english street punk band which was formed in 1978 by vocalist colin abrahall , guitarist colin `` jock '' blyth , bassist sean mccarthy and drummer andy `` wilf '' williams .
gbh were early pioneers of english street punk , often nicknamed `` uk82 '' , along with discharge , broken bones , the exploited and the varukers .
they have gone on to influence several punk rock musicians .
the name gbh was inspired by then-bassist sean mccarthy 's trial for grievous bodily harm , though some fans also believe it is an acronym for `` great britain hardcore '' .
