The label has been described as a successor to earlier Scottish indie labels Postcard Records and Fast Product.[1] Creeping Bent was officially launched with an event at Glasgow's Tramway theatre on 12 December 1994 called "A Leap into The Void" in homage to Yves Klein, and featuring film, theatre and pop music.[2] "Frankie Teardrop", a 1995 collaboration between Suicide vocalist Alan Vega and Altered Images drummer Stephen Lironi, was an NME single of the week in 1995.
