Unpolished* Strikes Back with Fierce New Single ‘Nobody Knows’

Los Angeles rockers unpolished* have done it again, releasing another unapologetic anthem with their latest single, ‘Nobody Knows’. Just seven months into their career, the all-girl trio continues to prove why they’re one of the most exciting acts on the local rock scene, blending passion, power, and punk-rock rebellion into a sound that’s uniquely theirs.

The Unpolished* Origin Story

Formed by fate, unpolished* began when vocalist Mary Bugbee and guitarist Celinda Chang met at a show and immediately bonded over their shared love of music. Their connection sparked a creative partnership, and when the opportunity to perform live arose, the duo quickly began writing songs. Drummer Jasmine Day joined the line-up, and the band made their live debut in April 2024.

Since then, unpolished* has been turning heads with their energetic performances and genre-blurring sound that straddles alternative rock, punk rock, pop punk, and grunge. Their influences range from Green Day and My Chemical Romance to Demi Lovato and Lady Gaga, a mix that mirrors their commitment to pushing boundaries. With “world domination” as their ultimate goal, the band is carving a path to stardom, one riff at a time.

‘Nobody Knows’: An Anthem of Defiance

Unpolished*’s new single, ‘Nobody Knows’, channels their signature ferocity into a pop-punk revenge anthem. Full of power and attitude, the track tells a story of vindication, blending biting lyrics with a driving drumbeat, catchy guitar riffs, and a bassline that demands to be felt as much as heard. It’s a cathartic anthem for anyone who’s ever wanted to shout back at their doubters or critics.

Musically, ‘Nobody Knows’ nods to trailblazing acts like The Donnas, Bikini Kill, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Runaways, and even early My Chemical Romance. But make no mistake—this is pure unpolished*. Bold, raw, and unrelenting, the single captures the band’s essence and solidifies their growing reputation as a group that isn’t afraid to embrace their edge.

Crafting the Track

Written collaboratively by Mary Bugbee, Celinda Chang, and Jasmine Day, ‘Nobody Knows’ is a testament to the band’s creative synergy. The song was produced by Tom Chandler and Jasmine Crowe, with Chandler also handling the mixing and mastering, ensuring every note packs a punch.
