Bite It
Bite It is the debut album by Scottish rock band Whiteout, released in 1995. The album includes two of the overall four previously released singles by the band, namely "No Time" and "Jackie's Racing". Another single, "Detroit", was not part of the original album but added as a bonus track to certain subsequent releases of Bite It, making "Starrclub" the only Whiteout single not released on a proper album. The album was available on both CD and vinyl.
