On “Dancing On TV,” Cincinnati’s Bad Veins sing about the pitfalls of TV stardom, yet the duo might be poised for it. Following the critical acclaim for their 2009 self-titled debut, Bad Veins have scored some high-profile interest in their music, including plays on Good Morning America, a soundtrack spot in this past spring’s blockbuster Chronicle, and the first-ever music award handed out at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Visuals certainly go hand-in-hand with the band’s sound. The songs on their second album, The Mess We’ve Made, practically beg for big-budget music videos, and Bad Veins have made a name for themselves in the live setting. Benjamin Davis and Sebastien Schultz make almost all the racket between the two of them, often accompanied by a megaphone and a reel-to-reel tape player named Irene that backs up the duo with tape loops.
“Dancing on TV” throw all these sounds into one big power-pop blender. With songs like these, Bad Veins will be living up to the title soon enough.
