"Fresh Blood" is a song by American rock band Eels. It was released as the first single from their 2009 album Hombre Lobo.
The song is about a werewolf who desires "fresh blood". E has described the song as a sequel to "I Want to Protect You".[1]
On March 31, 2009, the band made the track available on Spinner.com,[1] explaining that the song would be the lead single for the album.
A music video directed by Jesse Dylan premiered on April 29, 2009.[2]
A 7" single was released on May 18, 2009, in the United Kingdom featuring the album track "My Timing Is Off" as an A-side backed with "Fresh Blood".[3] Both singles were made available on the iTunes Store.
The song was featured in the sixth-season episode "Legacy" of the TV series Rescue Me and the end credits of the third-season episode "Fresh Blood" of the series True Blood.
