Biography
Arab on Radar, from Providence, Rhode Island, Unitd States, comprises singer Eric "Post-Traumatic Stress" Paul, guitarists Steve "Type A" Mattos and Jeff "Clinical Depression" Schneider, and drummer Craig "Obsessive Compulsive" Kurek. On the early singles, "Kangaroo" (Heparin, 1997) and Swimming With a Hard-On" (Load, 1998), they played an artsy brand of noise rock that borrows evenly from new wave, no wave and beach punk. "Queen Hygiene II" (Heparin, 1998), their first album, continued on that war path with terrifying blasts of chaos.
