The OXES/Arab on Radar split 10-inch

Prior to the release of their eight-track album OXXXES in 2002, the band put out a 10-inch record, billed as a split EP between OXES and Rhode Island noise-rockers Arab on Radar. The A-side of the record was performed by OXES. However, the B-side was also OXES—this time convincingly impersonating Arab on Radar.^{[ citation needed ]}
