Most are from 1985 from the infamous&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;Bites&#8217;<\/strong>&nbsp;apartment, a couple more from later but still made on a four-track. Something about the collection of gear and this vibrant time made for a lot of writing.

Some of these recordings went on to be the basis for early&nbsp;<strong>SKINNY PUPPY<\/strong>&nbsp;releases like&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Back And Forth&#8221;<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Bites&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Remission&#8221;<\/strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>Artoffact Records<\/strong>&nbsp;is making sure that these demos get their time in the sun through the&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Back And Forth&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While&nbsp;<strong>Key<\/strong>&nbsp;is most widely known as a co-founder of&nbsp;<strong>SKINNY PUPPY<\/strong>, the songwriter, producer, and composer is renowned worldwide for his contributions to industrial music through his solo work as well as his hand in countless other projects. With a career spanning nearly 40 years and dozens of releases,&nbsp;<strong>Key<\/strong>&#8216;s reputation is ever-growing, but will always remain as one of the leaders who helped to shape the industrial genre \u2014 a genre which he continues to elevate and innovate to this day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SKINNY PUPPY&nbsp;co-founder&nbsp;Kevin Crompton, better known by his stage name&nbsp;cEvin Key, has shared a brand new track in tandem with the announcement of his upcoming album,&nbsp;&#8220;bRap And fOrth Vol. 9&#8221;&nbsp;\u2014 a continuation of the famous&nbsp;&#8220;Back And Forth&#8221;&nbsp;series through&nbsp;Artoffact Records.
