Born in the cold grit of Edmonton, Alberta, The Unwashed are four members who live and breathe skate punk. Fueled by fast riffs, busted boards, and a deep love for the DIY punk ethos — they’ve been tearing up stages across Western Canada since day one.
Matt on vocals and guitar. Rich on guitar. Scott on bass. Jay on drums. They write every note, own every track, and pour every ounce of sweat into their craft. 100% original. Zero bullshit.
Beyond the music, they’re the crew behind Yuletide Bonanza and the Punk Rock Mountain Sideshow — bringing together Edmonton’s punk community for nights that rattle the walls of the Starlite Room and beyond.

Skate Punk from the Dirty North
The Unwashed are Edmonton’s skate punk legends. Born from the cold grit of Alberta’s capital, they bring fast riffs, busted boards, and a DIY punk ethos to every stage. Three members are Jaks — Matt, Rich, and Jay — a skateboard community rooted in 1980s Southern California where all members adopt the Jak name. Scott Marshall holds down bass. They write every note, own every track, and pour every ounce of sweat into their craft. 100% original. Zero bullshit.
