Summer Cannibals have been around for a bit — their debut album, No Makeup, came out in 2013 — but they’ve consistently flown under the radar, or at least not gotten the proper recognition they deserve. Hopefully that will change with the Portland, OR band’s next album, their first for Tiny Engines and fourth overall.

It’s called Can’t Tell Me No and the title’s defiant streak shows throughout, extending to the creation of the album itself. It was recorded quickly, scrapping an album they already had completed after bandleader Jessica Boudreaux extricated herself from a close personal and creative relationship.

“We had to sacrifice an album we’d worked hard on so that someone abusive and manipulative couldn’t benefit from it,” she says in the band’s biography. “It was, in a matter of 24 hours, making the decision to start something new or let them win.”

Its lead single, “False Anthem,” crackles with energy, a bile-filled takedown of someone who is hypocritical and unwilling to take action. “Hate who they are, say you hate what they do/ But you love all the things that they promise you,” Boudreaux sings, background coos turning her admonishment into a snarling smile.
