Check out the very first episode of The Ardent Sessions hosted by me and featuring the Cincinnati duo Bad Veins. They made a huge splash at this year's CMJ festival when they played the Dovecote showcase at Fat Baby. These guys are on the verge. I'm excited to bring them to you on BreakThru Radio.

Bio: Benjamin Davis (vocals, guitar, synth) and Sebastien Schultz (drums) the guys behind Cincinnati's power-indie-pop outfit Bad Veins know how to please a crowd. Rave reviews from USA Today and Atlanta's Snowden (who gave Band Veins props after the band opened for them) have propelled them from little-known opening act to certified buzz band.

Their mix of uptempo indie feel-good songs and howling vocals won them a nomination in the Break Our Act category at this year's CMJ Music Marathon. While Davis and Shultz have been thrilled with all the attention, they both know that they've only just begun.
