Big Wow is the second album by Scottish rock band Whiteout, released in 1998 (see 1998 in music). Andrew Jones and Stuart Smith—who were members of Whiteout when they started out in 1994—had left the band after the release of their first full-length album, Bite It, in 1995. Warren McIntyre took over on vocals for a run of gigs, then the two remaining members, Paul Carroll and Eric Lindsay, continued as a three-piece with original (pre-1994) drummer Mark Fairhurst who is named "Fudge" in the album liner notes, although Jim McDermott was drafted in for the majority of Big Wow. Carroll, Lindsay and Fairhurst continued gigging adding Eric Russell on keys and finally folding in 1999 despite much new material.
