Budd is the first release by the Chicago noise rock band Rapeman.
The title is a reference to R. Budd Dwyer,[4] a politician who committed suicide during a televised press conference.
The EP has been re-released as bonus tracks at the end of Two Nuns and a Pack Mule, the band's only LP.
Pitchfork ranked the record 6th on their list of "Steve Albini's 10 Best Records", writing that what made the title track "all the more harrowing, not to mention innovative, is the vast amount of empty spaces and granular surfaces [...] [worked] into the near-eight-minute song.
It’s a brooding, abstract dynamic that would set the tone for much of ‘90s post-rock, from Slint to June of 44.
