Summer Cannibals
Gritty, high-velocity indie rock with a defiant edge. Biting guitar riffs and sharp vocals for when you need to feel powerful and a little bit dangerous.

Summer Cannibals, led by Jessica Boudreaux, emerged from the fertile Portland, Oregon indie scene in 2012. Their sound is a sophisticated evolution of garage rock and 90s-influenced alternative, characterized by high-gain guitar textures and propulsive, driving tempos.
Over four albums, the band transitioned from the raw, self-released energy of 'No Makeup' to the more refined but equally biting production of their Kill Rock Stars debut 'Full of It'. Their career arc is defined by a fierce independence, evidenced by Boudreaux's management of their own label, New Moss Records, before signing with established indies. Musically, they occupy a space between the melodic grit of The Thermals and the heavy, riff-centric approach of L7. Critical consensus highlights Boudreaux's ability to channel personal frustration into universal anthems of defiance. The band's dissolution following 2019's 'Can't Tell Me No' marked the end of a significant chapter in modern Pacific Northwest rock, leaving behind a legacy of uncompromising, high-energy songwriting that remains a touchstone for the 'sad-but-loud' indie rock movement.
