"Bitemarks and Bloodstains" is a song by the American rock band Finch. It is the twelfth track on the band's second studio album Say Hello to Sunshine, and was released as a single on May 17, 2005, through Geffen Records.[1] "Bitemarks and Bloodstains" was released to radio on June 21, 2005.[2] It was subsequently released through other labels internationally in a variety of formats with various bonus tracks.[3] Vocalist Nate Barcalow said "Bitemarks and Bloodstains" was the first song Finch wrote for Say Hello to Sunshine and it "makes the transition between the old and the new sound."[4]
Finch released a music video directed by Michael Palmieri for "Bitemarks and Bloodstains" in July 2005.[5] The video opens with an Emergency Alert System message before showing various people in a single neighborhood frantically trying to pack up their cars and evade a cataclysmic event, which is portrayed as an ominous vortex in the sky. A traffic jam eventually stops the fleeing people, forcing them to retreat on foot. At the end of the video, the vortex explodes, causing everyone in the neighborhood to vanish without a trace. The plot of the video is inter-spliced with footage of Finch performing in a living room.
