Rapeman was an American post-hardcore band formed in Washington, D.C. in 1987, consisting of Steve Albini on guitar and vocals, David Wm. Sims on bass, and Rey Washam on drums. The band was known for their intense, angular guitar work and confrontational live performances, releasing three influential albums before disbanding in 1989. Their short but impactful career helped define the post-hardcore sound of the late 1980s.
