'''Skinny Puppy''' is a notable [[industrial]] band from Vancouver, Canada. The band formed in early 1982 and has risen as a pioneering force in industrial music, combining the ferocity of punk with the experimentation, noise, and theatrics of the budding electronic movement. The band split after the grueling recording of ''The Process'' but reformed in 2000. The band is currently still active.
Some of the very first Nine Inch Nails shows were opening slots for Skinny Puppy along select [[VIVIsectVI Tour|VIVIsectVI]] tour dates in 1988 and featured material from ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]]'' and ''[[Purest Feeling (halo)|Purest Feeling]].'' [[Trent Reznor]] has claimed his "first song" "[[Down In It (song)|Down In It]]" is a "total rip-off" of Skinny Puppy's 1986 single "Dig It" in a radio interview. The two do bear a bit of resemblance.
