Bad Veins is an American indie pop musical project by Benjamin Davis, formed in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.
Known for sporting vintage military clothing, using a telephone to sing into while performing, and utilizing an old reel-to-reel named Irene for backing tracks, all creating a unique show experience for even the most seasoned concert attendee.
Without the stage tricks that Bad Veins is gaining notoriety for, Davis could be a great folk musician, and a number of moments on Outliers showcase just that.
"[5] Acts the band have frequently played with or toured with include Two Door Cinema Club, Walk the Moon, Frightened Rabbit, We Were Promised Jetpacks, The Dig, Local H, As Tall As Lions, We Are Scientists, LoveLikeFire, The Subjects, Kevin Devine, Lightning Love, Maps & Atlases, Thrice and You, You're Awesome.
On January 24, 2012, Bad Veins announced that they will put out a new release, The Mess We've Made, via Austin, Texas-based label Modern Outsider.
