Bad Books is an American indie rock band formed in early 2010, and is composed of indie folk artist Kevin Devine and members of indie rock band Manchester Orchestra along with drummer Benjamin Homola. The collaboration began when Kevin toured along with Manchester Orchestra in November–December 2008 in support of his EP I Could Be with Anyone, and followed by the release of the split EP entitled I Could Be the Only One in January 2010.

A self-titled full-length album by the band was released digitally on October 19, 2010, and on a physical CD on November 9, 2010. A second album, simply entitled II, followed two years later, on October 9, 2012.
