Stir the Blood is the third studio album by American rock band the Bravery, released on December 1, 2009, by Island Records.

There, as most of the band came in and out, Endicott stayed in a neighboring house for several months as he helmed the producer's desk for the new record, alongside John Hill.

Songs like "Slow Poison", "She's So Bendable", "I Am Your Skin" and "Hatef--k" came about as Endicott picked through riffs recorded here and there from the band's tour in support of 2007's The Sun and the Moon.

He also claims that while the lyrics, which also focus on "intimacy", may be dark, the music stays upbeat.
