Lowestoft based punk band, formed in early 1981 and originally called Stretcher Case. The original line-up was Pete Chilvers, vocals, Chris Brinton on guitar, Nigel Boulton on bass and Tony Cullingford on drums. Initially the band played covers of Damned and Sex Pistols tracks. After a few gigs Brinton departed to cruise alternative musical avenues and was replaced by Paddy.
This line-up remained for the rest of A.B.H. They played in London and closer to home with bands including The Exploited, Peter And The Tube Babies, The Lurkers, Broken Bones, New Model Army and Chelsea.
The band recorded their first demo tape on 17th July 1982, which consisted of the tracks '999', 'Country Boy Rocker', 'Wanna Riot' and 'Teenage Aggression'.
In early 1983 they recorded their second demo tape, which consisted of the tracks 'Concrete Jungle', 'Kids Of The Nation' 'Pissed On Arrival' and 'Don't Mess With The S.A.S'.
They contributed tracks to 'Oi! Of Sex', 'A Country Fit For Heroes Volume 2' and 'This Is White Noise'. They split-up towards the end of 1983. Chilvers and Boulton went on to the The Silly Vicars, Curtis and Cullingford did their own things together and independently.
In an interview in the late 1990s, Chilvers and Boulton backtracked over their involvement with the 'This Is White Noise' E.P. claiming it was a "mistake".
British label Captain Oi! released their pre-White Noise material on a split-CD with Cambridge Oi! band Subculture in 1998.
Chilvers was in the army working in Afghanistan in 1986 and 1988 with the Mujahadeen and in the early 1990s working in Bosnia and Croatia with the peace stabilisation force.
