Cincinnati pop-rockers Bad Veins showed off their aptitude for crafting catchy, high-flying pop hooks and earnest boy-meets-girl songwriting on their 2009 self-titled debut. On April 24th, the pair will return with their sophomore LP, The Mess We’ve Made, via Modern Outsider Records.

“Dancing On TV” is the first single off the record and comes complete with a ’70s-inspired music video. What starts out as a goofy play on an old episode of American Bandstand shifts decades and turns into a full-on reenactment of a-ha’s “Take On Me” video. Check it out below.

Bad Veins will be on tour this spring/summer, playing shows with the likes of We Were Promised Jetpacks and Two Door Cinema Club. Peep the full itinerary below.
