SUMMER CANNIBALS (Portland, OR)

"You know what you did, you know what I saw. Now I take back my doubt so that you’ll crawl."

Summer Cannibals’ fourth album Can’t Tell Me No, out July 2019 on Tiny Engines, is a defiant release whose very existence is the result of taking back power—after escaping a manipulative personal and creative relationship, guitarist/vocalist and bandleader Jessica Boudreaux chose to scrap an entire record that had been finished for over a year and start from scratch. “We had to sacrifice an album we’d worked hard on so that someone abusive and manipulative couldn’t benefit from it,” says Boudreaux. “It was, in a matter of 24 hours, making the decision to start something new or let them win.”
