Psychiatric Tissues: The History of the Iconic Noise Rock Band Arab On Radar

Arab on Radar was the foundational band of Providence's 1990s underground noise scene. This memoir by guitarist Jeff Schneider, aka "Mr. Clinical Depression," writes about his rebellious life before and after the band, but most of the story is focused on Arab on Radar's time playing, recording, and touring between 1994 and 2002. It's a who's who of bands, venues, and labels in that scene, and you are instructed, in the first pages, to read it in a Providence accent.
