Banger for Breakfast - Released June, 2003
“BANGER* FOR BREAKFAST, is Wicked Tinker’s fourth attempt at music recording.It’s live and raw – like you’ll usually find us at the Scottish Highland Games. “Banger” originally started out with 60 hours of music recorded live across the country. We whittled it down to a couple hours of our greatest hits. This first of two CDs, is a bunch of favorites snatched from our three previous releases, with ten new tunes thrown in to boot. All this in one tribal-thumping CD. You’ll find your body moving against your consent.

*Bang•er: (bang´er) n. Chiefly Brit. 1. making bang. 2. A short little greasy British sausage. 3. A noisy old car.
