UNPOLISHED* UNVEILS THEIR DEBUT EP WITH GRITTY NEW SINGLE “COPY/PASTE”

LA’s rock scene has always had an edge, making unpolished* the perfect fit for its newest wave. Their name effortlessly encapsulates their energy, with these rowdy rascals cutting teeth in their latest single, “copy/paste.” This song marks the end of their debut EP rollout, signifying a strong start for the group.

Social media makes it rough for any artist starting in any space. The idea that everyone “looks the same” is powerful; it’s not that everyone literally carries the same image (though they often do). Instead, the sentiment suggests that people are afraid to be themselves due to the scrutiny of misjudgment.

Sonically, the track’s grit drives it along. A slightly familiar aura could liken the group’s stylistic choice to Hole—but there’s something different entirely, too. unpolished* has successfully positioned themselves as a new entity, staying true to the song’s core messaging by forging a unique presence and soundscape.

Overall, unpolished* represents an existential faction of underground music. Introspective, moody, and vibrant, “copy/paste” suggests that we’re all just trying to exist, but external factors make it so. dang. hard!
