Niagara Falls produced more powerful things than the waterfalls alone. Rocking three-piece James Blonde were formed there as well. They just put out their new single Hundred Bucks, the band’s second fresh track since their self-titled debut album (2017). It’s an upbeat, driving alt-rock anthem, inspired by great classic rock bands.

But when you listen further than the music alone, you’ll find the song has an important message as well. The realization that money won’t get us where we need to be spiritually. The band explain: “Our hope for you, the listener, is that you will take a more active perspective on what you are doing with your time, money, and energy on a day-to-day basis. Find the healthiest and purest version of your life possible.”
