Providence-based American noise-rock group known for abrasive, chaotic short tracks, distorted guitars, heavy drums and extreme vocals. Vocalist Eric Paul is a prominent member; the band's breakup preceded the formation of Chinese Stars.

Reviewers compare the band to Boredoms, Royal Trux (Twin Infinitives era), Public Image Ltd, DNA and Mars. Releases emphasize atonality, rapid metallic screeches, propulsive tribal drums and short, intense song structures.

Reviews portray Arab on Radar as a Providence-based noise/no-wave band delivering abrasive, chaotic short songs. Critics note distorted guitars, heavy, sledgehammer-like drums and sick, hysterical vocals. Fans are split, but reviewers here generally rate their releases highly.

For:Fans of noise rock, no wave, abrasive experimental punk and underground avant-garde music.

 the drums seem to be played by a builder with a sledgehammer, so simple and fierce they are, not to mention the sudden bursts of synth scattered here and there just to ruin our poor listeners' eardrums.

 "Soak The Saddle" is this and nothing else, a boiling cauldron where everything happens, where the propulsive tribalism of the drums becomes the shield for the rattling off-syncopation of the guitars and an increasingly less low bass.

 A deadly sonic bombardment that approaches the Nippo-subversive chaos of the Boredoms, and compared to which Public Image Ltd, DNA, and Mars seem like candy (NOTE, in terms of hostility, not quality...);
