Charged GBH - City Babys Revenge
Review by Hamed Nawaz Mughal
City Babys Revenge by Charged GBH is a classic punk rock album that has stood the test of time. The album was released in 1983 and is considered to be one of the band's best works. It is a perfect example of the raw, aggressive sound that defined punk rock in the 1980s.
The album is full of fast-paced, high-energy tracks that are full of anger and rebellion. The lyrics are politically charged and deal with issues such as war, poverty, and social injustice. The band's signature sound is characterized by fast, pounding drums, distorted guitars, and lead singer Colin Abrahall's raw vocals.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Race Against Time," which features a catchy, anthemic chorus that is sure to get stuck in your head. Another highlight is "City Baby Attacked by Rats," which features a blistering guitar riff and some of Abrahall's most intense vocals.
