Regarded as a part of the ‘grebo’ movement whose bands distinguished themselves by their ragged and greasy looks. Musically, most grebo bands tended to mix different rock styles with samples and loops. G.B.O.A. started out with a messy mixture of punk and psych rock on “Everythang’s Groovy” and brought in some dance grooves on their second release for the In Tape label, the “Nosedive EP”. Their strident band image and stage shows led to Virgin signing the Bykers with a large advance, partly spent by the band on a film accompanying their debut album “Drill Your Own Hole” (1987).
