Reviews & Opinions

S. WELLS, NME, JULY 1986: GBH. Brum practitioners of drilling lumpen-punk - very much an acquired taste - throw together their finest efforts to form a totally seamless and worthless hole. There is no doubt that they brought a certain craft to their efforts, something of which Menace were never accused. It is a sad fact that The Clash were directly responsible for encouraging a gargantuan and tragic waste of plastic taken up with the pitiful whining of post-adolescent rock and roll types who thought that all you needed to be be listenable was a sob story, three chords and a mate with a van.
