On 15 and 16 July ’98, Wreckage recorded three tracks at The Studio in The Park, Bracknell, with engineering by Mike Sparks. These three tracks: “Souvenirs”, “Her Winter Song”, and “Seventeen Days” were to become the eponymous “Wreckage” EP cassette demo.

At a later, unknown date, with fellow ex-The Outcast Band member Ryan Daniel replacing Hyde on bass and Jon Reeves replacing Darrah on drums; and without Berger, they also self released “Black Crow, Black Crow” in Australia. This CD EP, listed in the Folk, World, and Country genre; carried “Bones”, “Blood and Soil” and “Black Crow, Black Crow”.

In November 2010, having reformed, The Outcast Band released the Phil Tennant produced ‘The Longest Mile’ album. This carried a track titled ‘Wreckage’.
