Bad Veins is an indie pop duo hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, known for their unique and emotionally evocative music. Formed in 2006 by Benjamin Davis and Sebastien Schultz, the band quickly made a name for themselves, not just with their compelling sound that blends indie rock with orchestral elements and retro touches, but also with their distinct performances that often feature an old megaphone and a reel-to-reel tape player named Irene. Davis, the lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, is the constant force behind Bad Veins, with his partners contributing to drums and other elements of their rich soundscapes.

The duo's self-titled debut album "Bad Veins," released in 2009, gained critical and fan acclaim for its heartfelt songwriting and creative instrumentation. Over the years, Bad Veins have maintained a steady presence in the indie music scene, continuing to charm audiences with releases like "The Mess Remade" (2015), which saw them reimagine tracks from their earlier work with new life and depth. "Outliers" (2016), featuring the standout single "Rainbow Connection," showcases their ability to experiment and evolve their sound. With their most recent singles "Imposter," "Wendy," and "Arrow" (all released post-2016), Bad Veins affirms their commitment to emotional storytelling through music, while pushing the boundaries of their sonic identity. Despite changes in line-up and the ebbs and flows of the music industry, Davis has kept the Bad Veins ethos alive, creating music that resonates with a loyal fan base and attracts new listeners who are drawn to their nostalgic yet innovative sound.
