Hi, regarding Rapeman...they were a band led by Steve Albini in the
late eighties.
A snippet from all-music guide(www.allmusic.com)
"Albini remained an artist as well, forming his second band Rapeman in
1988 with David Wm. Sims and Rey Washam. The group had released just one
album and an EP before trouble arose in pressing plants, where workers
refused to handle any product adorned with the group's name. Just as
Albini felt Rapeman was starting to work, the group fell apart; it would
be awhile before he felt ready to join another."
There's a better page at www.chicagomusic.com/actionpark
Unfortunately, it is buggy right now. Maybe it will be back up soon.
The band name is from a Japanese manga comic.

Hope that this is informative.
