GBH - Maniac (Live at Ace Brixton, London, UK, 1983) video free download

In 1980 four drinking buddies got together and formed a band inspired by the mid seventies punk bands. Initially called Charged GBH they were signed up to Stoke based Clay Records within a year and released a string of singles and LPs that were to become second wave punk classics.

But their studio performance was only an inkling of their stage presence. Soon GBH earned a reputation for being amongst the most exciting and intense performers on the scene their gigs a blaze of irreverent punk rock posturing and high-speed savagery. More than any other band they were to influence the US hardcore street-punk phenomenon. Touring almost constantly there is barely a continent that hasn't been treated to one of there truly electrifying concerts. With thousands of fans worldwide, GBH have remained a force to be recognised even today.
