G.B.H. – No Need To Panic (Blue vinyl)

Birmingham, England, was the birthplace of many seminal punk bands. One of the bands that have gone the furthest and can now be regarded as a legend are G.B.H. Since their formation in 1978, G.B.H. have built a solid position in the punk scene. Their first mini-album in 1981 was already a success, but they really broke through a year later with the help of their debut album, which successfully established itself in the official charts.
The albums No Need To Panic (1987), A Fridge Too Far (1989) and From Here To Reality (1990) show G.B.H. in their later period. The late 1980s marked a turning point for many punk bands and a shift in sound towards the then popular heavy metal.
Unlike some of their peers, G.B.H. injected metal influences into their music as an enrichment to their sound rather than as a main ingredient. Despite the undeniable incorporation of some metal elements, these records are still mainly punk-ish, and that includes the biting lyrics. G.B.H. thus delivers a sensitively combined crossover of punk, metal and hardcore on these albums.
