The Chris Ruben Band, hailing from Long Island, New York, has been a formidable presence in the music scene since 2015. Known for their electrifying live performances and sing-along anthems, they continue to captivate audiences with their latest release, “MONEY,” the second single from their explosive new album, “An Incredible Forever.”
Recorded at Westfall Studios in Farmingdale, NY, and produced by Anthony Lopardo, Ray Marte, and The Chris Ruben Band, “MONEY” is a testament to the band’s dynamic sound and relentless energy. From the moment the track begins, it grabs hold of you and doesn’t let go. The powerful guitar lines and infectious rhythm demand movement, making it impossible to resist the urge to dance.
Deuce from Breaking and Entering captures the essence of the band’s appeal perfectly, noting how their music “has your body moving, your senses stimulated,” with Chris Ruben’s melodies encouraging listeners to “go for it.” This infectious energy is palpable in “MONEY,” a song that resonates with anyone who has ever felt the weight of financial struggle.
Nick Grasso from Rock The Pigeon praises the band’s live performances, stating, “Anyone who listened to the album, or better yet, was lucky enough to see them live this past year, understands they have the goods and are ready to hit the road.” This live energy translates seamlessly into the recording of “MONEY,” making it feel like a concert experience in itself.
“MONEY” is a track that everyone can relate to, unless, of course, you’re loaded. Its catchy hooks and relatable lyrics make it a song for the masses, a banger that is as fun to sing along to as it is to dance to. The Chris Ruben Band’s signature high energy and dope mixing elevate the track, showcasing their ability to create music that is both engaging and expertly crafted.
DA DA DA Music echoes this sentiment, highlighting the song’s catchy guitar lines and the band’s impressive execution. “Sounds like a banger right from the start. Just a really well done song. They’re crushing this,” they proclaim, and it’s hard to disagree.
“MONEY” by The Chris Ruben Band is a high-energy anthem that perfectly encapsulates the everyday struggle with a touch of humor and a whole lot of heart. It’s a track that will have you dancing, singing along, and hitting repeat, all while marveling at the sheer talent and charisma of this Long Island band.

Childish Gambino surprises us with Atavista, a polished re-release of his 2020 album 3.15.20. Gambino originally released the unfinished record during the Covid-19 pandemic as a rushed love letter to his apocalypse anxiety and to his fans. Needing a master and a mix, Gambino resurfaced the entire album and dropped it alongside a list of tour dates. Atavista is an intimate album that somehow maintains oodles of mystique and disconnectivity. The words to the songs are new, but the album’s sound isn’t anything that we haven’t heard from Gambino before.
