Arkells Strike Gold with the Synth-Infused New Single “Money” Featuring Portugal. The Man

The unstoppable 9X JUNO Award winners Arkells have just dropped a certified banger with their new single “Money,” and it is exactly the kind of vibrant, synth-drenched anthem we need right now. Teaming up with the legendary John Gourley of Portugal. The Man, the track dives deep into our complicated, ego-driven relationship with finances, delivering a “godless” critique wrapped in an irresistible feel-good melody. Frontman Max Kerman’s sharp songwriting shines here, finding the perfect rebellious foil in Gourley’s guest vocals to create a track that feels both globally relevant and sonically explosive. Following the success of “What Good?”, this new release serves as a thrilling second look at the band’s highly anticipated 2026 album.

The momentum is truly electric as the Hamilton heroes prepare for a massive 2026, including a high-profile performance at the JUNO Awards in their hometown. Before they take the stage at the TD Coliseum, the band is heading across the pond for a series of intimate, up-close European and UK dates that are already selling out at lightning speed. Fans in Manchester and London have already snapped up every ticket, eager to hear a preview of the new record in these legendary small clubs. Whether they are surprising fans at a Jonas Brothers concert or sold-out holiday shows in Niagara Falls, Arkells continue to prove why they are the gold standard of Canadian rock and roll—bringing an infectious energy that keeps everyone’s eyes on the prize.
