Say Hello to Sunshine is the second studio album by American post-hardcore band Finch. It is their last album with bassist Derek Doherty, and their only album with drummer Marc Allen.
This album signaled a sharp departure from the band's last release, What It Is to Burn. Say Hello to Sunshine introduced a harder, gritty sound, with less screaming and a more alternative rock sound when compared to earlier recordings. The album was produced with Jason Cupp (The Kite-Eating Tree, The Valley Arena), who also produced the band's self-titled EP.
Say Hello to Sunshine was released on June 7, 2005. "Bitemarks and Bloodstains" was released to radio on June 21, 2005. On February 20, 2006, Finch announced an indefinite hiatus.
The album received mixed reactions. Some were disappointed, having been expecting a similar sound to their previous material, whereas others embraced the change in direction.
All songs written by Finch.
