The story began as a solo act, with Davis piecing together ideas he had swimming in his head in the wake of his former bands dissolution. He put down dense orchestral tracks that resonated with a fuzzy melancholy, and featured vocals sung through telephones and megaphones. Though he was making headway recording material on his own, it became clear to Davis that he’d be short a pair of hands if he ever wanted to replicate the recordings on stage.
Enter Schultz, a French born but American raised drummer that had just seen his own band call it quits.
Davis quickly found Schultz to be exactly what he needed. The latter’s impassioned drumming took the music to new heights, allowed Davis to kick his stodgy drum machine to the curb, and most importantly gave Bad Veins the opportunity to take the stage.
Lucky breaks are few and far between on the musical landscape, but for Bad Veins they came upon theirs at their second ever show, when a band they were opening for stumbled upon their sound check.
Upon hearing their supporting act warm up, Atlanta’s Snowden were instantly impressed. They traveled on to New York on tour and told stories to venue bookers, writers, and friends about this great new band they’d played with in Cincinnati. Before long, opportunities sprung up for a few shows, and a couple of phone calls came in from record labels. Weeks later they were playing Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Sounds like the Killers on first listen... but it's SO GOOD. i just don't understand why Gold And Warm is the biggest song. Dry Out, The Lie, and Afraid are way catchier in my opinion

Just saw them with Division Day last night at Chicago's Subterranean. They have a great live presence. I do feel that some of their songs share a 'sound trend' with a few other popular bands, but there is enough talent here to go beyond that and carve out their own niche.

This band might get pretty big. Or they might be forgotten about, hard to tell. Fun Album, though.

One of the great bands in Cincinnati, OH right now, The music scene there is proving to contain a great amount of talented, diverse young musicians. Not sure how to do it, but check out some of the other bands on Last.fm from Cincinnati and you will know what I mean.
