Skinny Puppy is an influential post-industrial band, formed in 1982 by core members cEvin Key (Kevin Crompton) and Nivek Ogre (ohGr) (Kevin Ogilvie) in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Inspired by the groundbreaking music of Chrome, Kraftwerk, Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Portion Control, The Legendary Pink Dots, and others, Skinny Puppy experimented with electronic recording techniques and methods. the band composed multi-layered music generally using keyboards, synthesizers, found sounds, drum machines, live percussion, tape splices, samplers, and conventional rock music instruments. Whereas many contemporary remixes and re-edits of songs were created in order to make a song more suitable for dancing or different radio formats, Skinny Puppy approached remixing and re-editing as an artistic process of reinterpreting compositions, often using remixes to push their sound into styles of ambient, dub and techno. Skinny Puppy’s often informal, improvisational approach to musical composition is indicated by use of the term brap, coined by them and defined as a verb meaning “to get together, hook up electronic instruments, get high, and record”.
Skinny Puppy’s first two proper releases, Bites and Remission, fall somewhere between the found-sound chaos of early Cabaret Voltaire and the abrasive, futuristic synthpop of the Units or Crash Course in Science. While the intense synth programming, abstract rhythms, and surreal samples—all Puppy trademarks—are present here, the albums owe as much to new wave as to industrial.

They not only deserve respect because they're good, they first deserve respect because they're good people. They make the difference fighting for the ones who can't self-defend.

One of Modern Music's greatest music acts, also the most rip off industrial bands in history. I'm glad to see them get more credit in the last 5 years and hope in time they get all the credit they final deserve. Fuck Yeah Skinny Puppy!!!

Skinny Puppy standards tend to be just a little anti-pop however..

I'm not. Not only it's really accessible and sickeningly cute by their standards it also apparently got a lot of fame when it was released. Wasn't it something of a...ehh....hit back then? I have this ancient vinyl called "This Is Electronic Body Music" and it's from late 80's I think. Assimilate is on it too. Apparently SP we'ren't as hot or legendary in the industrial scene as they are now since the band description on the LP just say something like "Skinny Puppy come from Canada and release their music on the Nettwerk label".

Am I the only one that's surprised by "Assimilate" being the top track by a landslide?

Are you crazy? I don't understand how any Puppy fan could say that Too Dark Park wasn't their best work

I like all kinds of music and different eras of Skinny Puppy but "The Greater Wrong Of The Right" is far from the best Puppy. Very far.

Since I haven't seen any mention of it on the boards here, here's the official statement from the band's manager, 10/19/09: "I just wanted to attempt to make everyone aware of the current situation that Skinny Puppy is in. Due to the fact that SPV (Puppy's label since tGWOTR) filed for insolvency earlier in the year the new Skinny Puppy LP will not be out in time for the tour. We have been in discussion with SPV and had hoped to find a solution to the mess they have put us in, but it looks as though things will not get sorted out until years end. We have meetings set with them in the near future and I hope to be able to let everyone know that things will be back on track soon. Songs have been recorded and artwork has been worked on and once we resolve the issues we have with SPV, we will release them." -Litany.net
