RapemanRapeman was a short-lived (1987 - 1990) noise band, featuring: Their name, taken from the eponymous anti-hero of a Japanese cartoon series, was clearly designed to shock. Throughout their playing career, their gigs would often be the target of feminist protestors, who appeared to believe that the band was de-stigmatising rape and male violence against women. Stever Albini has described such criticisms as idiotic, arguing that punk culture is generally very sympathetic to feminism. The playing style at times was reminiscent of more traditional noise punk (as on "Up Beat"), at other times cranky art-rock (as on "Monobrow"), their sound gave centre stage to the virtuoso guitar capability of Albini. The band broke up for personal reasons; not, as has been rumoured, over a dispute relating to their name. Discography (all released on Touch and Go Records in the US, Blast First! in the UK and AuGoGo in Australia unless otherwise indicated) - "Hated Chinee b/w Marmoset" 7"
- "Budd" EP
