Bad Veins anything but bad

Riddle me this: Why would an album be named Bad Veins if it doesn’t qualify as “bad” anything?

Tucked away inside a CD case is the catchy self-titled release from indie duo Bad Veins.

Between the two musicians come 10 songs of interest to the ear.

The duo’s musical style is varied. One song opens with a drum march and another with a soft, feminine vocal demonstration. Some take on interesting sounds from multiple instruments, such as the harmonica, brass and some string instruments.

In the end, each song has its own flare, but each song also has the uniting feature of a distinct and desirable beat.

Keeping up with its instruments, the band’s lyrics are certainly not of the highest quality, but at the same time, they are more satisfying to the ear than a bad pop song.

Personal tastes will either give the singers the thumbs-up or thumbs-down. At least the instruments are set.
