I heard about these guys about a week before I saw them. They were touring with Two Door Cinema Club and Funeral Party, whom I all had the pleasure of seeing last Wednesday. It was a great show, and I was thoroughly impressed by everyone.
Bad Veins is actually just two guys playing guitar and drums over backing tracks that get belted out by a tape player. They even have this very gaudy tape player on stage with them during shows, and it plays all the horns, synths and overdubs and it makes their sound rich and full. They sound pretty unique, but some of their songs actually remind me of a more composed The Bravery. They utilize telephones and megaphones to distort the vocals and the intensity of the songs never fail to impress.
After the show we went and talked to the guys for a while, and he gave me a free download ticket for their self-titled album. Cool dudes.
Check these guys out, they're only just now reaching their full potential.
