9X JUNO Award winners Arkells release their infectious new track, “What Good?” out now via Universal Music Canada and Virgin Music Group. Full of conviction and drive, “What Good?” marks the introduction to Arkells’ forthcoming new album, due in 2026.

Following two weeks of social teasers, and MLB World Series bumpers, Arkells premiered the song live for a select group of fans in a local Toronto garage rehearsal space a mere 48 hours before release. The tone of the event speaks to the spirit of the song, and the up-close and personal experiences it longs for.

“What Good?” aims to ask the blunt questions on the noise of modern day life: What good is the comment section? What good is rage bait disguised as debate? What good is hustle culture if it only rewards grifters and conmen? 

“The song doesn’t pretend to have neat answers—but it points toward where meaning might still be found,” says frontman Max Kerman. “The sun, the moon, the neon glow of your neighborhood bar. Things we can share, things that feel real.”
