Which all-female punk band released the 1979 album 'Cut'?

The all-female punk band that released the 1979 album “Cut” is The Slits.

Cut was the debut studio album by The Slits, an English band formed in London during the first wave of British punk. The group became known for challenging punk’s conventions through unconventional arrangements, sharp social observations, and a highly individual visual identity.

Released on Island Records on 7 September 1979, Cut was produced by Dennis Bovell. Rather than presenting a straightforward three-chord punk record, it fused punk’s confrontational energy with reggae, dub, and art-pop textures. The album’s loose, spacious rhythms and abrasive guitar work made it one of the era’s most distinctive releases.

The record features Ari Up on vocals, Viv Albertine on guitar, and Tessa Pollitt on bass, with important contributions from drummer Budgie. Its best-known songs include “Typical Girls,” “Vindictive,” and The Beatles’ “I Heard It Through the Grapevine.” Lilliput, The Au Pairs, and The Raincoats were also associated with feminist or post-punk scenes, but Cut belongs to The Slits.
