Stop the Bleeding is the seventh studio album by the alternative rock band Sponge. It was released in 2013 on Three One Three Records. This album features the five songs previously released on Sponge's 2010 EP Destroy the Boy. These five songs are "Dare to Breathe", "Destroy the Boy", "Come In from the Rain", "Star", and "Before the End", however these songs appear in a different order than they did on Destroy the Boy. Also on this album Sponge does their own rendition on a classic Jim Croce song "Time in a Bottle". This album was first only sold at Summerland Tour show, but the national release was on September 17 and now can be found everywhere.

Promotion and release

Sponge announced that they would be touring with Everclear, Live, and Filter on the 2013 Summerland Tour.[1] The Summerland Tour was put together by Art Alexakis of Everclear for '90s alternative bands. The tour was originally created in 2012 and the reception was so good that it was revived in 2013. This tour is currently the only place that you can buy Stop the Bleeding. Sponge announced on their website that they had signed with The End Records and will release Stop the Bleeding nationally on that record label, instead of one Three One Three Records. The album was released nationally in September 2013. The release of Stop the Bleeding on The End records has a different track listing. The song "What Were You Doing Outside If You Didn't Like the Rain" was shortened to "What Were You Doing Outside?", and the The End version included a bonus track called "Alcohol and Speed".[2]
