Michigan grungy trio Tonguecutter will release their debut album on May 2 via Learning Curve Records, Minnow.

"I started my first band as a teenager in 1994, with influences like DRI, Anthrax and Babes in Toyland. It was fast as hell but had a lot of grunge and riot grrrl flavor. Guitar was always really important for me. I loved bands like Seven Year Bitch and L7. I've been a Pixies and Breeders fan since the beginning of time too. Kim Deal is the reason I picked up a guitar, says vocalist/guitarist Chantal Roeske, who is joined by bassist Addison Eilers and drummer Cam Polidan.

Here's the lead single:
