The punk band Raped formed in 1976 with a line-up of Sean Purcell (vocals), Faebhean Kwest (guitar), Tony Baggett (bass), and a trans woman Paddy Phield (drums).
[5] On the first recording sessions as Cuddly Toys (that later were to appear on the album "Guillotine Theatre"), they were augmented by Alig Fodder and Nicky Brockway (piano).
Billy Surgeoner then joined the band for further album sessions as well as live appearances, playing keyboard synthesisers.
They next released the Guillotine Theatre album in 1979 on Japanese label Teichiku, and a remixed version issued in the UK in 1980 on Fresh Records, which reached No.
They then recorded the "Trials and Crosses" album, initially still with original bassist Tony Baggett, but he left almost immediately being replaced by Paul Wilson on bass, completing the full line-up change.
