GBH started to play in 1980 in Birmingham. After one year (1981) they got signed to the record label "Clay Records". And they released the 12" "Leather, Bristles, Studs & Acne", and short therafter they released the two 7" records "No Survivors" and "Sick Boy". In 1982 Clay collected the 12" and the 7" singles and released them on the debut album "Leater, Bristles, No Survivors and Sick Boy", the same year they also released the LP "City Baby Attacked By Rats" and in 1983 they released the LP "City Babys Revenge" with the subtitle "101 ways to kill a rat". Under this period GBH hade their musical big time. They also released the singles "Catch 23 / Hellhole" and "Give me fire / Mantrap". But then something happen. In 1984 they released the 12" single "Do What You Do" and then in 1986 the LP "Midnight Madness And Beyond". Those album was really horrible. GBH had left the label "Clay Records" and signed on to "Rough Justice", and just like all punk bands in the middle of the 80
