Saint Blonde Channel Surf-Rock Fury with Dirty $$$
Denton indie rockers Saint Blonde have unleashed a brash, riff-heavy new single titled “Dirty $$$,” out now via Pale Chord / Rise Records / BMG. Brimming with surf-rock crunch, punk urgency, and spitfire lyricism, the track is a searing rebuke of American greed—wrapped in a hook-laden, high-energy package.
Produced by Courtney Ballard (5 Seconds Of Summer, All Time Low), Dirty $$$ signals another step up for a band already gaining serious ground in the indie circuit. From its opening snarl to its closing howl, the song captures the raw intensity that Saint Blonde has been steadily refining since their formation in 2018.
“Dirty $$$ is a fitting eulogy for the generation that transformed the American Dream into a pyramid scheme,”
says vocalist Hunter Fitch, delivering one of the band’s most biting social critiques to date. The single doesn’t hold back—skewering systemic rot while keeping things blisteringly catchy.
Claymation Chaos
In true Saint Blonde fashion, the song arrives with an animated spectacle: a claymation music video created by Baby Cry Animations. It’s a riotous, absurdist trip through cloned band members, clay cash, bank robberies, and bear-sized mayhem. The visuals match the sonic tone perfectly—unhinged, fun, and just a little unsettling.
This marks the fourth single in the band’s recent run, following “Gimme My Flowers,” “Trendsetter,” and “Prowl.” All signs point to a band on the cusp of something massive, especially coming off a successful showing at SXSW 2025 and with a full-length debut album on the horizon.
Whether you’re drawn in by the band’s genre-splicing sound or their bold message, Dirty $$$ is a must-listen—a modern indie anthem that rips through the noise.
