Summer Cannibals initially cut their teeth on the Portland, Oregon circuit, sharing the stage and receiving encouragement from peers such as The Thermals. The band has since spent an unhealthy amount of time on the road, earning accolades and adding plenty of fresh converts to their highlycharged, no frills attack. It seems only logical that when the band decided to sign to a label, they chose a label like Kill Rock Stars, which has a long history of putting out fearless, female-led bands like Bikini Kill and Sleater-Kinney.
