Raped were an Irish punk band formed in 1977. They were more infamous than a lot of other bands, and were regarded as "unsignable". Despite this, they had a dedicated following, and still managed to get promotional spots on television and at one time a "cheap night out" with the band competition with a magazine.[1] Their manager was eventually able to form a label to released a few singles under, but despite good sales, they attracted negative publicity and even the UK punk scene trashed them.

The band later morphed into Cuddly Toys in 1980 and morphed into an act loosely associated with the new romantic scene.
