Bad Veins is an indie rock duo from Cincinnati, Ohio, composed of Benjamin Davis and Sebastien Schultz. The band released their debut self-titled album on Dangerbird Records. Davis primarily writes the music, plays guitar and keyboard, and sings, while also recording backtracking music on a reel-to-reel tape player, nicknamed Irene. Schultz plays the drums. Davis also uses a megaphone and telephone to sing into, producing an unique sound.

The band is known for dressing in vintage military clothing when performing––Davis’ jacket belonging to his father who served in Vietnam. Army green and a rose design, similar to their debut album cover, were a visual staple when touring for the album.

In 2008, Bad Veins won the first ever Target Music Maker Award at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Their self-titled debut album was released on July 21, 2009. The first single off the album was “Gold and Warm,” which was used on Good Morning America’s “Your Three Words” segment on February 27, 2010. Dan Harris, an ABC News correspondent, named the debut the 7th best album of 2009 on ABC’s Amplified blog, calling it “criminally overlooked” and “utterly fantastic.” The USA Today blog Pop Candy named the last track on the album, “Go Home” one of the Top 20 Songs of 2009.

Bad Veins has garnered considerable praise in the blog scene. A post on Radio Free Chicago discussed the band’s new EP, titled Outliers, which came out on June 15, 2010, and described the duo’s stage dynamic: “At the end of the day, Bad Veins is one of the midwest’s most talented bands, regardless.
