Rapeman was a noise rock band formed in 1987 in Chicago, IL, USA, by Steve Albini (vocals, guitar), Rey Washam (drums), and David Wm. Sims (bass). The band took their name from a popular Japanese comic book that intrigued Albini and Washam, which led to controversy and frequent confrontations with protestors during their tours. Their first EP, "Budd," released in 1988, was named after Budd R. Dwyer, a Pennsylvania politician who committed suicide during a live television broadcast in 1987. Following the release of their 1989 LP, "Two Nuns And A Pack Mule," the group disbanded due to personal tensions between two of its members.
