"Bitemarks and Bloodstains" was the advance single from Say Hello to Sunshine, Finch's second album: the band toured the US and Europe ahead of the record, and the single came out in May 2005, a month before the album. Nate Barcalow sings, Alex Linares and Randy Strohmeyer play guitars, Derek Doherty is on bass and Marc Allen on drums. Allen had replaced Alex Pappas in early 2004, and this would be his only studio album with Finch and Doherty's last. Ben Moore produced with Jason Cupp and the band and sat in on piano; Cupp recorded it and Rich Costey mixed.
The album pushed Finch's post-hardcore toward heavier riffs, breakdowns and shifting time signatures, and it split the critics: some wanted the old sound back, others welcomed the change of direction.
