I interviewed Jeff Shneider (aka “Mr. Clinical Depression”), guitarist of Arab on Radar, and he walked me through each of their albums, one-by-one. Arab on Radar was a noise rock band from the 90s and early 00s who was so abrasive and offensive that concert attendees literally physically attacked them for their music.
