Biography
Radiator Hospital is an American pop-punk band hailing from Grand Rapids, Michigan, now based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The band was originally a solo project of Sam Cook-Parrott, who used it as a platform for his lo-fi pop songs recorded on a four-track tape recorder. As the project grew, Cook-Parrott enlisted the help of Cynthia Schemmer on guitar and vocals, Jeff Bolt on drums, and Jon Rybicki on bass, transforming Radiator Hospital into a four-piece band.
The name "Radiator Hospital" was inspired by an auto body shop near Cook-Parrott's hometown in Michigan. He found the sign intriguing and thought the name had a unique and interesting ring to it, which ultimately led to the band adopting it as their own.

Despite their humble beginnings as a solo project, Radiator Hospital has evolved into a full-fledged band with a distinct sound and style. They continue to captivate audiences with their heartfelt and infectious music, solidifying their place in the indie music scene.
