Radiator Hospital

After the release of their July 2013 album ‘Something Wild’ Radiator Hospital has drawn comparisons to some serious indie royalty across the internet, and for this group the categorization seems to be dead on. There’s a comfort in Radiator Hospital’s tunes that come across in their live performance. They're wildly talented, but their sets can still feel like you stumbled onto your best friend playing in your living room.

During Radiator Hospital’s solo set at Shea Stadium, Sam Cook-Parrott heightens the sweet yearning in the band’s full line-up performances to something that feels like the music you wish you could have written and held onto during your first (or last) crush/relationship/break-up/rebound/etc. The live recording brings his voice to the forefront as he wanders through the tracks you’ll recognize from Radiator Hospital's full band offering – but the songs are now transformed to something both familiar and fresh. - Alexa Atamanchuk
