“The lean, no-nonsense attack and baritone crooning found on 2012′s Children of Desire might make it seem like Merchandise would be more comfortable in the ’80s Manchester scene than in their home stomping grounds of Tampa, Florida.

Check Our Catalog “These songs are pared down to the sharpest hooks and the most earworm-like choruses — all the better to let the fizzing electronics take over…Even on its mellower moments, the Bravery sound more excited about making music on this album than they have since their debut, making Stir the Blood a fine [...]
