Episode 121: Rapeman

This week we're discussing every album by Rapeman. These guys were a noise rock supergroup made up of Steve Albini on guitar/vocals (Big Black, Shellac), David Wm. Sims on bass (Scratch Acid, Jesus Lizard), and Rey Washam on drums (Big Boys, Scratch Acid, Ministry). Rapeman took the buzz saw noisiness of Big Black and coupled it with one of the most incredible rhythm sections in all of rock. A power trio that sounded ten times bigger than they actually were. While they are the most obscure out of all of Steve Albini's projects, their brutal lyrics and provocative band name landed them in trouble just as much as you'd expect.

Closing track: "Trouser Minnow" from Two Nuns and a Pack Mule (1988)
