Bang! is the third studio album by Welsh-British group World Party, released by Ensign Records on 26 April 1993.
While previous World Party albums were essentially solo projects by multi-instrumentalist Karl Wallinger, for this album World Party officially became a three-person group: Wallinger (vocals, keyboards, guitars, basses, etc.), Dave Catlin-Birch (guitars), and Chris Sharrock (drums). As well, the band is aided by a number of guest artists.
In 2000, the album was re-released by Papillon Records with new cover art. Since 2000 the reissues omitted the track "Give It All Away (Reprise)".
All songs written by Karl Wallinger, except where noted.
