BANG is a music and audio post production company based in New York City which creates original music and provides music supervision, sound design and audio production services for advertising, entertainment and interactive media.

Bang is a Swedish feminist culture and society magazine. It was started in 1991 by students at Stockholm University. The current editors in chief are Mireya Echeverría Quezada and Johanna Palmström. The magazine is named after Barbro Alving, whose signature was "Bang". There are four issues per year with a circulation of 7 500.

Bang is a romanization of the Korean word 방, meaning " room". In a traditional Korean house, a sarangbang ( Hangul: 사랑방; Hanja: 舍廊房) is the study or drawing room, for example.

In modern Korea (especially in the South), the concept of a bang has expanded and diversified from being merely a walled segment in a domestic space, to including buildings or enterprises in commercial, urban, space, such as a PC bang (an internet café), a noraebang (a karaoke room), sojubang (a soju room, i.e. a pub), manhwabang (a manhwa room, where people read or borrow manhwa) and a jjimjilbang (elaborate Korean public bathhouse). This can be compared with the similar expansion of the concept of a " house" to include upper houses, opera houses, coffee houses, and publishing houses.

Phonetically more tensed word ppang (빵) is used as an abbreviation of a noun gambang (Hangul: 감방; Hanja: 監房; McCune-Reischauer: kambang), meaning " jail".

Bang was a Greek band that represented Greece in the ESC 1987 and had minor success in Europe and Japan.

Bang was a Greek male vocal duo, consisting of Paul Stevens (vocals, guitar) (according to Billboard "Top Pop Singles" and several other unofficial sources, his real name is Thanos Calliris) and Billy Adams (Vassilis Dertilis) (keyboards). They had chart success with the single "You're The One", released on the RCA label. It entered the UK Singles Chart on 6 May 1989, reaching #74. It was in the chart for two weeks. The B-side of the 7" version was "Don't Burn Down The Bridge", with the 12" having an additional instrumental version.

In 1990, they released the album, Clockwise, on the German Ariola label. They also had a minor hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Holding My Heart", which peaked at #93.

Bang is the sixteenth overall and eleventh North American album by the a cappella group Rockapella. It is the first studio album the group has released since 2002, and marks the first recording appearance of members John K. Brown and Steven Dorian, who had joined the group in 2004 and 2010. The album consists entirely of original music, making it the second all-original album released by the group, preceded only by their 1994 Japanese release Vocobeat, and is also the first Rockapella album to have at least one song written by each of the five members. The album contains a special bonus fourteenth track: a cover of Vampire Weekend's " A-Punk."

Bang is an American hard rock/ heavy metal band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, active briefly in the early 1970s. The group released three albums on Capitol Records, and had one minor hit single with "Questions", which reached #90 on the Billboard Hot 100. They were strongly influenced by Black Sabbath, and are considered forerunners to the doom metal genre. The group briefly reformed in the early 2000s and recorded 2 more CDs worth of music. In 2004 the concept album "Death Of A Country" was released on CD and LP. This album was recorded in 1971 and was intended to be released as the band's first record, but was shelved by Capitol Records because they did not feel that putting out a "heavy concept album" as the band's debut would be commercially viable. Later that year, their self-titled sophomore record was released and became their official debut instead.

On January 6, 2014 Bang announced their reunion.

"Bang" is the fifteenth episode of the first season of the American legal drama television series The Good Wife. It originally aired on CBS in the United States on March 2, 2010. In the episode, ex States Attorney Peter Florrick ( Chris Noth) is released from prison to his home. He is confined by house arrest and starts working on restarting his legal career. His wife Alicia Florrick ( Julianna Margulies) has conflicted emotions about his return and distracts herself with a legal case, in which she defends a man of killing a mutual fund manager who assisted in Bernard Madoff's investment scandal.

The episode was written by co-producer and staff writer Courtney Kemp Agboh and directed by Rod Holcomb. "Bang" included guest appearances by actors Alan Cumming and Gary Cole.
