RAPE KIT


When a band writes a song that’s titled so simple, so unapologetic, and with no room for misinterpretation, it’s incredibly refreshing. “Boys Who Rape Should All Be Destroyed” is about how boys who rape should all be destroyed. Yes! It’s by the Raveonettes and it’s a total Kumbaya vibe, but about hurting fucked up assholes with power trips instead of, like, God.

They recently recorded a live version for American Apparel’s VIVA radio station, and it’s awesome. It’s done in a quiet sing-songy lullaby voice. We liken it to the kind of sound you’d get if N.W.A. sat cross-legged in the dirt at summer camp holding hands singing “Fuck the Police” gently and with inside voices.

At first when I read "hurting fucked up assholes" I read it as "hurting, fucked up assholes." As in the assholes that had just been plundered were in pain.
