Profile Bad Radiator was formed as a band in 2011 from the Stockholm region, a reunion of the previous band Grace, which wrote the song/ soundtrack theme “Ingen kan älska som vi” (“No one can love like us”) in 1988, a catchy pop tune with some AOR traces.  Hypnotize is an album full of superb melodies, catchy hooks, breezy harmonies and quite catchy moments having a lovely co-operation between guitars and keyboards with awesome producton.

Standout tracks are “Do you still Think of me” with slightly crunchier guitar and a very catchy chorus, “Don’t Walk Away” with a slight westcoast spice as the warm and soft title song “Hypnotize” but also “Alexandra” a song with hi-tech aor and pop touch. Great album and one of the best of the year. Check also their second album released in 2014 titled “Shanghai”.
