Photo Credit: Jason Quigley “lead single, “False Anthem,” crackles with energy, a bile-filled takedown of someone who is hypocritical and unwilling to take action.” – Stereogum “’No’ puts self-recovery ahead of dwelling too heavily on the past with surprisinglyjoyous results.” – FLOOD Magazine “Summer Cannibals turned a bad situation into great art.” – NYLON “Summer Cannibals expertly balance flame-belching Mad Max riffage with lyrics frankly exploring questions of codependence and need.” – Pitchfork “Summer Cannibals bring raw and driving guitar rock, with shredding from front womanJessica Boudreaux and an attitude that honors the band’s namesake, a songperformed by Patti Smith.” – NPR “Show Us Your Mind shows off how much the band has evolved in the short time it’s been together, with songs that refine the fuzzy garage-pop of its debut into something sharper, tighter, and much more difficult to shake off.” – Entertainment Weekly “There are shades of late 90s Sleater-Kinney in the loud-quiet-loud of it all, not least in Boudreaux’s voice, snarling at all the right moments.” – Noisey
Summer Cannibals’ will release their highly anticipated fourth album Can’t Tell Me No this Friday, June 28 on Tiny Engines. A defiant release whose very existence is the result of taking back power, the record paves a path for those who may feel powerless and voiceless offering the hope that through strength and community they can create change. Just ahead of the record’s release, the band shares new album track “Behave” premiered with NYLON. The deceivingly upbeat yet sorrowful song is driven by booming percussion and searing lyrics that cut like a knife opening the keyhole for liberation.
After escaping a manipulative personal and creative relationship, guitarist/vocalist and bandleader Jessica Boudreaux scrapped an entire record and started from scratch. Where there is anger there is also hope, and Can’t Tell Me No is, as much as anything, about finding love and acceptance on the other side of pain. It is a collection more vibrant and confrontational than anything they’ve created in the past. Can’t Tell Me No stands up not just to a relationship or an industry, but to the people and constructs that have been trying to silence women and hold them down for so long. With the inspiration and adrenaline driving the new album’s creation, the current members of Summer Cannibals are working together in a new, reinvigorated way. Boudreaux wrote and recorded and mixed many of the new tracks along with Cassi Blum, Devon Shirley, and Ethan Butmanduring 14-hour days. Summer Cannibals made their TV debut in 2016 on Last Call with Carson Daly and appeared on NPR’s Sound Opinions Best of list in 2015. The band has appeared at major festivals including Sasquatch, Project Pabst and Riot Fest and performed with some of their musical heroes L7, Mudhoney, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, and The War on Drugs, and touring withTed Leo & the Pharmacists and Cursive. The band recently wrapped up national tours with Hop Along and Slothrust. They are currently in the midst of a massive summer tour in support of Can’t Tell Me No. Full list of dates hereand below.
