Don't think it's all that we'd like to present you. Our database fills up and changes without a stop, we put information as FaST as possible. At first we put everything for our completely supported bands, then we put information about our albums' collections without tracks, lyrics, lineup, etc., then we put information from our Speed'n'Power Melodic Metal List, then we put information about side-cross-guest projects of completely supported bands' members and then we'll put lineup, lyrics, tracks, etc. for Speed/Power Melodic Metal list bands (current condition) and then at last everything else.

Additional informationfrom Sanctuary press release for 'Race Against Time: The Clay Years' (28.02.2007):
Like Iron Maiden G.B.H. is credited for helping create Thrash Metal. The influential, long-lived Punk Metal band rose to prominence in England during the early '80s when hardcore punk inched toward Heavy Metal. Formed in 1979 in Birmingham, England, G.B.H. took their name from the criminal offence. In August 1981 they released their hard-hitting debut EP, Leather, Bristles, Studs & Acne on Clay Records. In 1982 they released their debut album, City Baby Attacked by Rats. Two years later their second album City Baby's Revenge was released in 1984. They continued recording and releasing albums through the '80s, G.B.H. soldiered on, recording new albums throughout the '90s and into the next millennium. By this point the band was often cited by both Metal and Punk bands as a huge influence, and a renewed interest in G.B.H.'s early recordings resulted.
Race Against Time is a 3 CD collection of the entire G.B.H. Clay recordings, 2 studio albums, 1 EP and all the singles releases from the period. Also included is the live, No Survivors album, originally released years after the band left the Clay label. It is now available again as disc three of the box set. The booklet is filled with photos, memorabilia and detailed liner notes. The set is packaged in a 5x5 mini collector's style set. The 3 CD set is a fine intro to one of the '80s more underrated punk bands. Many a mosh pit has been started over the years to the punk anthems "Time Bomb", and "War Dogs".
