Cincinnati duo Bad Veins have been turning heads since the self-release of their 4-track demo in 2007 caused them to learn how to run before they even knew how to walk. “Trying to get a label deal secured was kind of like running laps without any clue as to how many laps we were supposed to be running,” reveals Benjamin Davis (vocals/guitars/keyboards/synths), of this partnership.

Eschewing the standard full band set-up for a 1973 Pioneer reel-to-reel recorder lovingly named Irene, the duo of Benjamin Davis and Sebastien Schultz create dense orchestral indie-pop, both on stage and off, with an arsenal of synths, guitar, drums and the skillful use of a megaphone and telephone.
With just this short time as an outfit behind them, the dynamic twosome has already shared stages with bands ranging from The Hold Steady to The Virgins and garnered attention from national media including USA Today, who dubbed Bad Veins, “The best band I’ve seen at CMJ,” following their performance at the 2008 Festival.

Look for the band’s debut full-length this summer, with more details in the coming months.
