Song:The Lie
Album:Bad Veins
As is common these days, Bad Veins is a solo act hiding behind a group name. He turned it into a band for a few years but he's currently a solo act. Benjamin Davis is from Cincinnati. He started Bad Veins as a home recording project. Davis is mainly an acoustic act but he uses electronic instruments in the recording process. After meeting drummer Sebastian Schultz in 2006, Davis turned Bad Veins into a duo. After releasing a 2007 EP, Bad Veins released their 2009 debut album on Dangerbird Records. The album was reviewed positively. They got some attention when one of their songs appeared on the Good Morning America's Your Three Words segment in 2010. ABC News correspondent Dan Harris named Bad Veins one of his top albums of 2009 on ABC's Amplified blog. It also got high praise from USA Today's Pop Candy blog. Davis writes and performs everything except drums. He might bring in outside musicians of he needs to like horns on this album. On stage Bad Veins wore vintage military clothing and Davis likes to use oddball audio video effects. Bad Veins released three albums and an EP. The most recent was in 2015. Schultz left in 2013. He moved to Scotland to join The Twilight Sad. Jake Bonta replaced him on the 2015 album The Mess Remade. Davis still performs as Bad Veins but he hasn't recorded lately. I guess he could always turn it into a band again. Right now he's a solo act. Here's Bad Veins performing The Lie on Tripwire Acoustic Sessions at Levi's FADER Fort in Austin, TX Feb. 2008.
