Recently joining the venerable roster of legendary independent label Kill Rock Stars, Portland rock band Summer Cannibals have announced the release of their third full-length LP, Full Of It, out May 27. Led by guitarist/vocalist Jessica Boudreaux and aided by a new powerhouse rhythm section of drummer Devon Shirley, bassist Jenny Logan and guitarist Marc Swart, the 11 songs spark with that perfect mix of snotty attitude, unbounded energy, and window rattling volume. The band will bring this energy to stages across North America as they join The Thermals on a national tour. Tickets are currently on sale HERE.
The four musicians keep their collective foot on the gas pedal, roaring through tunes like the jagged, wailing opening track “Go Home”. “Say My Name” simmers with a sweet melody and a powerful chorus commanding listeners to attention. Energetic album title track “Full Of It” is an immediate earworm of distorted guitar, growling bass and irresistible vocal licks. “Simple Life” simultaneously slows the tempo and amps up Boudreaux’ signature epic guitar antics, making for an anthemic album closer.
The new album Full Of It is the band’s defining statement to date. Recorded at the amazing analog recording studio The Dock with producer Chris Woodhouse (Thee Oh Sees, Wild Flag), the LP is one of those massive leaps forward that has defined the Summer Cannibals sound. Be sure to catch the band live on tour with The Thermals this fall & stay tuned for more exciting news coming soon!
