G.B.H. - City Baby Attacked By Rats - LP

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 2O, despite being released by tiny independent, Clay Records. With a touch of Motorhead and Sabbath beneath their straight-up hardcore, City Baby is where the legend begins, capturing G.B.H. at their bloodiest.
