Unpolished* Ignite the Punk Rock Scene with ‘I Swore an Oath to Protect the Constitution’

Los Angeles-based all-female rock band Unpolished* continues to shake up the alternative punk rock scene with their latest release, I Swore an Oath to Protect the Constitution. With a sound that bridges the gap between alternative rock, punk rock, pop punk, heavy rock, and grunge, the group is quickly gaining momentum and carving out a name for itself.

Formed in a twist of fate when vocalist Mary Bugbee and guitarist Celinda Chang met at a gig, the two bonded instantly over their shared passion for music. When the opportunity arose to perform live, they enlisted Jasmine Day on drums and later welcomed Stephanie “Santos” DeSantos on bass. Making their official debut in April 2024, unpolished* have since been captivating audiences with their raw energy and fearless songwriting. With influences spanning from Green Day and My Chemical Romance to Demi Lovato and Lady Gaga, their sound is both rebellious and melodic, appealing to a broad spectrum of rock fans.

Their latest single, I Swore an Oath to Protect the Constitution, is a powerful statement of frustration and unrest. Rooted in a dark, punk-infused energy, the track reflects the band’s discontent with the current state of society while building towards a hopeful call for change. The intensity of the song rises throughout, culminating in a climactic explosion of emotion and resolve. Fans of Dead Sara, Arctic Monkeys, Green Day, and Rage Against The Machine will find themselves drawn to its raw honesty and dynamic composition.

With their relentless ambition and electrifying performances, unpolished* are well on their way to achieving their ultimate goal—world domination. I Swore an Oath to Protect the Constitution is not just a song but a battle cry, proving that unpolished* are a force to be reckoned with in the ever-evolving rock landscape.
