G.B.H - GBH Live At The 100 Club 24th November 1981 & G.B.H - Race Against Time The Complete Clay Recordings
G.B.H (originally known as Charged G.B.H) are a British punk band, formed in 1978 in Birmingham.
It is widely understood that the name came from bassist Sean McCarthy being charged with grievous bodily harm (GBH).
Sean McCarthy was replaced by Ross Lomas after two years.
GBH have remained fairly faithful to their original UK82 sound in subsequent releases. However, the band have experimented to some degree with a more speed metal-inflected, inspired and influenced sound particularly those of Motörhead and Tank, notably with their 1992 release Church Of the Truly Warped, although they have since returned to a more purist punk sound.
The band are still active and touring and maintain a strong following both in the UK and the rest of Europe, as well as in the United States and Japan.
Band members:
Colin Derek Abrahall - vocals
Colin Robert Blyth - guitar
Ross Andrew Lomas - bass
Andrew Paul Williams - drums.

Angkor Wat - When Obscenity Becomes The Norm... Awake! & Corpus Christi
Angkor Wat were an American thrash metal crossover band from Corpus Christi, Texas, formed in 1986. They were forerunners of the hardcore punk scene that emerged from Corpus Christi in the mid-eighties. The band's energetic live performances along with their unique blend of thrash metal and hardcore punk landed a deal with Death Records, a subsidiary of Metal Blade Records, under which they released two albums.
A third album was recorded under the name Angkor Wat, but due to the stylistic difference from the band's previous work Lohner opted to release it as Skrew's debut and Angkor Wat broke up in 1990. In 1990, Adam Grossman and Danny Lohner relocated to Austin and continued their musical partnership under the name Skrew, a project that had industrial music leanings.
Band members:
David Brinkman - vocals
Adam Grossman - guitar
Daniel Patrick Lohner - guitar
W. Mike Titsworth - bass
David C. Nuss - drums.
