One of modern hard rock's most exciting breakouts in recent years, Kris Barras Band are bringing all-new arena-sized grit to 2024 with their new album 'Halo Effect'. Amplifying the heavier sound from their previous album 'Death Valley Paradise' (which landed a Top 30 spot in the UK Album Chart and saw four tracks added to Planet Rock's A-list playlist), 'Halo Effect' delivers hard-hitting riffs, captivating choruses that soar and fuse-lighting technical solos. Newly signed to legendary independent label Earache Records, Kris Barras Band harness the twilight-lit melodies and stampeding force beloved by fans of Architects, Shinedown and Alter Bridge. 'Halo Effect', which was recorded at Vada Recording Studios in Worcestershire and co-produced by frontman Barras and long-term collaborator Josiah J. Manning, also features co-writes with Zac Maloy and Blair Daly (Shinedown, Halestorm, Lynyrd Skynyrd). Barras is joined in Kris Barras Band by Manning on guitar, Billy Hammett on drums and latest member Frazer Kerslake on bass. After an almost-unbelievable career change from pro-MMA fighter of ten years to professional musician, Barras cut his teeth in the international blues rock scene culminating in a frontman spot with supergroup Supersonic Blues Machine (featuring ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons). In the meantime, Kris Barras Band gravitated to a heavier sound that has sold-out tours with Black Stone Cherry, The Darkness and Thunder at the likes of the Royal Albert Hall and Wembley Arena. Kris Barras Band coincide the release of 'Halo Effect' with their upcoming UK headline tour in April 2024. All native sons of Devon, the band launch the tour with a special launch party at The Foundry in Barras' hometown of Torquay, then make their way around the country via Southampton, Wolverhampton, Manchester, Glasgow, Newcastle, Nottingham and finally London.

Kris and the band were really on form, playing with their usual high energy. Great to hear them play a few acoustic numbers including a tribute to Taylor Hawkins. Hope to see them again next time they play, great evening!
Electric Ballroom Camden Town, United KingdomThe band were excellent and the music awesome. In my opinion though, the 100 Club is not the right venue for a rock concert. I will be going to see Kris Barrass again somewhere the crowd can rock.
The 100 Club London, United KingdomThe show itself was out of this world! One of the highlights was Fortunate Son ... however, King Tuts is not the best of venues. Hope to see them in a better venue next time round ...
King Tut's Wah Wah Hut Glasgow, United KingdomThe 5th time I've had the pleasure of seeing Kris Barras Band, get better every time I see them. Phenomenal guitar player. If you get a chance go and see him, guarantee you won't be disappointed.
The Brook Southampton, United KingdomAbsolutely brilliant evening. The support acts set a high bar and the Kris Barras band really impressed. This is the fourth time I’ve seen these boys and I think it’s the best I’ve ever seen them.
